Tossed and turned to the gentle humming on another 12 hour drive
Never felt so alone and so crowded in all my life
Never really awake, never really asleep,
With a head full of promises my heart can barely keep

And we'll never quit
It's been that way since we were kids
Now that your giving in,
We're taking chances we never did

We were raised by our heroes on Saturday mornings on TV
Those silvery images are now fading from the screen
I've traded in those illusions
For a set of fresh new bruises
Still knowing they are what I want to be

And we'll never quit
It's been that way since we were kids
Now that your giving in,
We're taking chances we never did

There's two kinds of people
Those who dream and those who settle for less
But I won't settle for less,
I wont settle for what we'd have if we just held out

Will I find the thing I need
To inch me closer to complete
In faces that I meet and the company I keep?
Are we really awake?
Are we really asleep?
This is one promise that I made that I intend to keep

And we'll never quit
It's been that way since we were kids
Now that your giving in,
We're taking chances we never did
