RISE
Words and Music Written By: WM. David Mensch III © 2005
SO IT’S LATE NOW AND THIS COLD IS RIPPING ME APART
HANDS ON THIS CLOCK WON’T MOVE FAST ENOUGH
NOWHERE TO GO, NO ONE TO SEE, NOWHERE TO BE
I LOVE THE RAIN BUT IT’S SUNNY OUTSIDE
AND I’D LOVE TO STAY BUT YOU HAD TO SAY GOODBYE
I’M NOT NOBODY AND I’M NOT SCARED OF WHO YOU ARE
YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO SO WHY DO YOU LEAVE NOW
SO JUST SAY IT, WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO BE
JUST BREATHE IN, WHAT OTHER LIFE WOULD SMELL AS SWEET
STOP SLEEPING IN AND RISE
WON’T WAIT NOW ‘CAUSE THIS HEAT IS MELTING ME AWAY
HANDS ON MY FACE WON’T STAY DRY ENOUGH
A TEAR A DAY I’LL HAVE TO PAY TO WIPE AWAY THE PAST OF THIS LIFE
I LOVE THE STARS BUT IT’S CLOUDY OUTSIDE
AND I’D LOVE TO SAY WHAT I’VE SAID IS NOT A LIE
I’M NOT SOMEBODY WHO IS SCARED OF ALL THE SCARS
YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO SO WHY DO YOU LEAVE NOW
SO JUST SAY IT, WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO BE
JUST BREATHE IN, WHAT OTHER LIFE WOULD SMELL AS SWEET
STOP SLEEPING IN AND RISE
AND I DON’T WANT THIS TO FADE, NO
AND I DON’T WANT YOU TO GO, NO
AND I DON’T WANT THIS TO END JUST LIKE BEFORE
SO JUST SAY IT, WHO DO YOU WANT ME TO BE
JUST BREATHE IN, WHAT OTHER LIFE WOULD SMELL AS SWEET
STOP SLEEPING IN AND RISE
