about

This song is about how one day you wake up and you're an adult with real world problems. You can fight against it as much as you want, but you can't go back home again. You can only push forward.

Fun fact: the dual guitar riff in the intro is one of Steve's favorite WR guitar parts.

lyrics

My body's quiet
But something in me sleeps
Laying dormant
Waiting waiting waiting
Don't listen to me
It's possible I mean you harm
I've sensed the changes
Now I'm sounding the alarm

Wake up
From your sleep
And learn to run for cover while you still can
Wake up wake up
From your sleep
And hide away your fears be a man
That's what I am

Big transformation
Improvement I don't know
A seeds been planted
Now I grow grow grow
But it's too late now
To end my shifting ways
I've aired the warning
Now the beast stirs where it lays

Wake up
From your sleep
And learn to run for cover while you still can
Wake up wake up
From your sleep
And hide away your fears be a man
That's what I am

I'm kicking up dust
I'm causing a scene
The bones in my body are mean
I'm pushing through rubble
I'm side-stepping curves
I'm finally getting everything that I deserve

Wake up
From your sleep
And run while can
Wake up wake up
From your sleep
And hide away your fears be a man
That's what I am

Wake up
From your sleep
And learn to run for cover while you still can
Wake up wake up
From your sleep
And hide away your fears be a man
That's what I am
