he watches the end of his cigarette
and burns away the days he missed
the lips he could have kissed again
he said, "why do I even waste a single breath on anyone anyways
the second I leave this place they'll all forget my name"
he watches his days strike the memories
he turns away from times he's lost
the lines he could have crossed again
he said, "why do I even waste a single breath on anyone anyways
the second I leave this place they'll all forget my name"

wake up, wake up world
I've had my fill, and fuck this town
wake up, wake up girl
where were you, when I needed you around
so wake up, wake up world
I've had my fill, I'm on that plane
wake up, wake up girl
where were you, but it's too late
  
he watches the end of his cigarette
and burns away the hopes he'd made
the love she could have saved for him
he says, "why do I even waste a single breath on anyone anyways
maybe with one more drink I'll forget her name"
  
so wake up, wake up world
I've had my fill, and fuck this town
wake up, wake up girl
where were you, when I needed you around
so wake up, wake up world
I've had my fill, I'm on that plane
wake up, wake up girl
where were you, but it's too late
  
he watches the end of his memories
and burns a hole in every one
