lyrics

wake before the dawn
before the light turns on
dying everything a dirty blonde

pulling yourself up
fill the broken cup
just to empty it and make another buck

all these things I have learned
wake me up, they make me toss and turn in bed
and it hurts to know the breath of youth
to understand that it ends

walk the longest mile
talk until they smile
befriend everyone who bears with you for a while

make a few wrong turns
giving what you've earned
fleeting worldly things are none of your concern

all these things you will learn
like the summer sun beats down and burns your skin
and it hurts to know the breath of youth
to understand that it ends
