All Time Low - Stay Awake (Dreams Only Last For A Night) Lyrics






Caught in a cold sweat
Stuck splitting hairs and drinking too much
I'm on my way to striking out
Go to sleep with the pressure of everyone watching and waiting
They're yours for the taking, but I still have my doubts

Before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been

Stay awake, get a grip and get out
You're safe from the weight of the world
Just take a second to set things straight
I'll be fine even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night

Figure it out
Boy, you're tripping so pull yourself together
Or you'll wash up like the rest
This ship is sinking
I'm thinking I'm done for
I'll watch as the sails disappear under water
'Cause I'm no captain yet

I said, "Before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been."

Stay awake, get a grip and get out
You're safe from the weight of the world
Just take a second to set things straight
I'll be fine even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night

Believe you, me
I'll give them everything
I'd tell them anything
To show them everything

Believe you, me
I'll give them everything
I'd tell them anything
To show them everything

'Cause you ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones
You ain't the only ones who want to live it up
You ain't the only ones

Stay awake, get a grip and get out
You're safe from the weight of the world
Just take a second to set things straight
I'll be fine even though I'm not always right
I can count on the sun to shine
Dedication takes a lifetime
But dreams only last for a night

  29. P.... p....

  36. M.... E....

    Is it just me, or would this be the perfect song for the ending of a typical High School Movie?

    M.... E....

    +Sharlay Marley E Yeah, I can see it :)

    M.... E....

    +Sharlay Marley E watch "fan girl" its the intro scene song

  43. K.... M....

    this song is the best off of this album, because it gives me so many feels. like, the part where it repeats "you' ain't the only ones who wanna live it up" gives me chills and I have no clue why?? it's always been my jam though and will always continue to be my jam for the rest of forever.

  44. G.... A....

    For the longest time I thought the lyrics were "The succulents have been shaved." Instead of "Take a second to set things straight."

    G.... A....

  88. l.... ....

    i don't know i think i was drunk that day!

  89. M.... ....

    Why the hell did you capitalise shit all the time?

  90. l.... ....

    I'm a new ATL fan and i love their old SHIT that SHIT is great you know they have good SHIT they're very SHITTY people you know i love that SHIT!
    I love all their SHIT my fav SHIT so far is Nothing personal Probably cause that was the First SHIT i heard But yeah you know their SHIT Have always been good So far!

  91. A.... L....

    Respectfully, stating it as "new shit" may send the wrong message. :))

  92. K.... B....

    when did i bash anyone? im just stating MY OPINION. i like their new stuff too, all i said was most people who are newer fans of ATL don't pay attention to their old music, they listen to their new music. therefore they are not seeing how good their old songs are compared to their newer ones. im a long time fan and love their new stuff. so next time read what im actually saying, because i did not bash anyone. thank you :)

  93. A.... L....

    Okay, lemme set this straight. You can't bash new fans for liking their new stuff. You also can't bash long time fans for liking their new stuff. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. I'm not trying to sound mean, but it's true. :)

  94. C.... C....

    this is my pep-up song. i'd be a zombie without it.

  95. r.... ....

    I listen to both the old stuff and the new stuff.

  96. K.... B....

    everyone only listens to their new shit. cause they're such big "fans". they don't realize ATL old songs are awesome
