letra de a grand little adventure - petravita

wide awake am i
i′m just waiting all this time
wide awake am i

feel like i’ve been waiting all my life

look, i′ve always heard i’m in control of my own destiny
but lately i’ve been feeling circumstance might get the best of me
i do my best to keep in check the dark and find my joy
but my fleeting smiles always feel like drops into the void
dripping moonlight to the chasm, quickly swallowed and obscured
and soon i can′t remember, am i worse or am i cured
the roller coaster climbs and at the precipice it snaps
either way i′m coming down again, but this time rolling back
it’s a give and it′s a take, less than stable either way
sad even during good times just knowing that they’ll fade
and happiness feels temporary, depression feels sustained
though intellectually i know they′re two sides pressed to the same old coin
and any day’s a tossup left to chance
no medicine or exercise, meditation, yoga stance
can guarantee today′s a good one, promise it’s in check
and if it’s bad the best i′ve got′s a troubled sleep until the next

wide awake am i
i’m just waiting all this time
wide awake am i
feel like i′ve been waiting all my life

my eyes they’re wide open, they seem to never close
i′ve traded real sleep for a constant restless doze
to say i sleep in late would be so wildly reductive
the truth is i’m awake just not enough to be productive
i′m waving at tomorrow like i’m excited just to see it
like i see who i might be and man, i cannot wait to be it
today becomes a yesterday and i still feel the same
a cycle of inaction whose only action’s passing blame
death by a thousand cuts? try 10,000 days
i feel just as lost today as i did at half my age
the fruit has barely ripened, the wisdom hardly sage
another sheet sewn to the spine with nothing written on the page
so what if that′s all there really is?
like are these are symptoms or a consequence
of my own willingness to let myself get beat down to the ground
and stay there til i′m picked up like my life’s a lost and found

wide awake am i
i′m just waiting all this time
wide awake am i
feel like i’ve been waiting all my life
