Something To Keep Me Awake

It's hard to watch the news today without a xanax bar
I just drove a thousand miles in my mother's beat up car
It's hard to believe all that metal even made it this far
Well, I could say the same for us, but here we are
And here we go again

I just need something to keep me awake today
I don't care what it is
I just need something to keep me awake today

She says I got to slow down
Every now and then
She says, "It's not how hard you go
It's where and when"

But I can't stop myself, that's how I've always been
I can't do it once or twice
I do it over, and over again, and again, and again

I just need something to keep me awake today
I don't care what it is
I just need something to keep me awake today
Can you help me out?
I just need something to keep me awake today
I don't care what it is
I just need something to keep me awake today

This stuff isn't strong enough to make this cold heart race
And it won't last long enough and I can tell it by the taste
Well, you can learn a lot about someone from the things they chase
But even more about what they run from and the things they keep around just in case

I just need something to keep me awake today
I don't care what it is
I just need something to keep me awake today
Can you help me out?
I just need something to keep me awake today
I don't care what it is
I just need something to keep me awake today

Most things get boring enough by the final verse
But write it down anyway
For better, or for worse
'Cause running out of things to say isn't always a curse
'Cause sometimes the walk is better
If you run out of gas on the side of the freeway first

I just need something to keep me awake today
I don't care what it is
I just need something to keep me awake today
Can you help me out?
I just need something to keep me awake today
I don't care what it costs
I just need something to keep me awake today
