Have a party at my funeral where no one has to grieve Drink and dance the night away where no one dares to leave Don't make me turn this car around I’m driving us into the ground So I pedal to the metal as the engine kicks and screams Push it to the limit till it runs right out of steam I fade away in cruise control The distance starts to take its toll On me So let's start again Wake me up, I'm not getting younger Hurry up, I can’t wait much longer (How long will I wait?) Someone take me out of my misery In the middle of the night is where it seems to hurt the most Morning brings the light again but it's still getting worse I drive into the desert sun Mirage of all the bad I've done In my travels I have left a trail of breadcrumbs, hidden clues Words within the lyrics that I wish were never true I fade away in cruise control The distance finally takes its toll On me So let's start again Wake me up, I'm not getting younger Hurry up, I can't wait much longer (How long will I wait?) Someone take me out of my misery Does anyone remember the ones in the second place? This failure seeps into my veins Will I be remembered for songs I didn't write? I fade away and lose control Wake me up, I'm not getting younger Hurry up, I can’t wait much longer (How long will I wait?) Someone take me out of my misery (How long will I wait?) Save me from myself, my worst enemy
