Its 4am and I dont need any other reason
Than the sight of my breath
And the sound of my heart beating,
Oh its colder than they said itd be today.
But thats the weather for you and lifes like that,
Forecasting sunny skies and then taking it back,
You know the world aint black and white,
But I cant live amidst the gray.
So Im off into the night,
Trying to fight my way against this daylight,
Cause I dont need permission
From the sun to start my day.
Ive got no where else to go,
But one thing Ive got to know –
Is there something that Im missing,
Something that Ive lost amidst the gray.
It seems that these dreams will only come to an end
If I come to believe that Ive got to defend
This vision Ive been living,
And the life I want to lead.
Weve got this obsession with material things
As if heaven is ours if were buying our wings.
But fall to your knees and show me
What youve gots just what I need.
So Im off into the night,
Trying to fight my way against this daylight,
Cause I dont need permission

Ive got no where else to go,
But one thing Ive got to know –
Is there something that Im missing,
Something that Ive lost amidst the gray.
I want to be somebody better than I am,
I want to see more than the edge of this town.
I want to run like hell, Ive got things to tell this world,
So here I go and Im not coming down.
So maybe youre just fine
Living on your knees,
Or maybe youve been feeling
The same as me.
Cause Ive got all these questions,
But its the answers I cant find.
So I wont sit here waiting,
Gonna leave it all behind.
I want to be somebody better than I am,
I want to see more than the edge of this town.
I want to run like hell, Ive got things to tell this world,
So here I go and Im not coming down
