I walk and I wake, I never give,
and yet I always take.
this is your adult life.
we are going to be sophomores again.
a little bit less self assured,
a few more nights a week spent tired and bored.
when the chaos gives in to a good moment's rest,
I will salvage my soul to give you a show,
I am asking myself "can I do this?",
and the answer is, "no".
I walk and I wake, and I never give,
but I always take.
this is your adult life.

I walk and I wake, I never give,
and yet I always take.
this is your adult life.
we are going to be sophomores again.
a little bit less self assured,
a few more nights a week spent tired and bored.
when the chaos gives in to a good moment's rest,
I will salvage my soul to give you a show,
I am asking myself "can I do this?",
and the answer is, "no".
I walk and I wake, and I never give,
but I always take.
this is your adult life.
