The Airborne Toxic Event
You’re wide awake tossing
And you can’t even sleep
With all these secrets you keep
The way home is so steep
And then it’s midnight
And you feel so alone
You’ve got your radio on
You don’t know if you can face the dawn
And it’s time to be a man

What the hell are you waiting for?
The whole world is at your door
All these lies that you told to yourself
Like you don’t need no one else
Don’t put your pride upon the shelf
And it’s time to be a man
Tell me how does that go?
What the hell are you waiting for?
The whole world is at your door
It’s time to make a plan
For the rest of your life
Just stop saying that you’re over it, over it
You know that’s a lie
But you were never alone
You were never alone
When she gave you all that she had to give
You have to know where you live
Do you even know what you did?
And it’s time to be a man
Tell me how does that go?
What the hell are you waiting for?
The whole world is at your door
It’s time to make a plan
For the rest of your life
Just stop saying that you’re over it, over it
You know that’s a lie
You just have to let it go [x3]
