While You Can Lyrics

You should wake up

You should get up

And get on

There's a time bomb

It could go off

In the middle of your high school parking lot

You're only seventeen you've still got time

But the second you sit back to relax that time's gone by

And you're writing a song in your

White wall bedroom

No one's gonna hear it

No one's gonna want to

And your playing it back

Again and again

And you hate it

You hate it

You belief that you can do better

What if you can't

And there's a tick tick tick

In the back of your head

Don't give up no don't you dare give in

Congratulations you're a man

Make us proud

And don't you dare forget

To keep your head up high

Even as your running out of time

Congratulations

Stay tall and bright and shiny while you can

You should wake up

You should get up and get moving

There's a time it's gonna go off Before you even get going

You're only almost eighteen

You've still got time

(Better figure it out before you run out of time)

I wish I had the strength to fly

(I'd fly)

And you're fighting for change

In your filthy bedroom

No one's gonna hear you

Nobody wants to

And you're meeting the wall with your worthless fist

(Over and over and over again)

The believe that you can do better

What if you don't

What if this is all that your meant to cope

Twenty three years away

I hope that boy has found his way

Congratulations you're a man

Make us proud

And don't you dare forget

To keep your head up high

Even as your running out of time

Congratulations

Stay tall and bright and shiny while you can

You should wake up

You should get up

And get on

There's a time bomb

It'll go off

Drowning in a sea of precious time

Waste it and you've thrown away your life

Congratulations you're a man

Make us proud

And don't you dare forget

To keep your head up high

Even as your running out of time

Congratulations

Stay tall and bright and shiny while you can

Wake up

Get up

Get on

Wake up

Get up

Get on

Wake up

Get up

Get on

Wake up

Get up

Get on

Wake up
