Ashleigh Wakes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ashleigh wakes in the mornin'
And she'll work till the afternoon
Coming home in the evening
Every day, always the same
And she'll check on her Facebook
But it's always the same old stories
All her friends havin' babies
Only today, something has changed

[Pre-Chorus]
Her heart is beating through that open door
Enter, too beat dead behind the floor
She reaches out to use the telephone
And with her mouth, she forms the words, the words

[Chorus]
"I ain't gonna take it anymore
'Cause my, my life is mine and mine alone
And I don't need nobody keepin' score
You can live any way you want"

[Verse 2]
Harry's home in the morning
After an evening of wiping tables
Heading the books until nighttime
Work's for the man, sleeps when he can
But what does he strive for?
So that one day, he'll make a mortgage
With a wife and some children?
Is this what this is? Is that all there is?

[Pre-Chorus]
His heart is beating through that open door
And it's too beat dead behind the floor
He reaches out to use the telephone
And with his mouth, he forms the words, the words

[Chorus]
"I ain't gonna take it anymore
'Cause my, my life is mine and mine alone
And I don't need nobody keepin' score
You can live any way you want"

[Bridge]
We used to dream
We used to dream of far-off places
(Tell me how it is)
Now all it seems (wow)
Is a sea of sorry faces
With a job and matching braces
A sea of suits and their briefcases (baby!)

[Chorus]
I said, "We ain't gonna take it anymore
'Cause our, our life is ours and ours alone
And we don't need nobody keepin' score
You can live any way
You can live anywhere
You can do anything you want"

[Outro]
(Hey! Ooh)
