Lyrics[]

[Chorus]
Wake up on your own
And look around you 'cause you're not alone
Release your high hopes and they'll survive
Because this is the future and you are alive

[Verse]
Dive in and swim away
From your loneliness
And miserable days

[Chorus]
And when you wake up on your own
Look around you cause you're not alone
Let your hopes go and they'll survive
'Cause this is the future and you are alive

[Outro]
You're headed home
You're headed home
