about

Following up their first single only a month before this one, The No Shows keep the momentum going strong with their new release “Wake Up”. The song is uplifting, hopeful and energetic, a welcome change of pace after the harsh past couple of years. Early 2000’s pop-punk fans will be sent right back to their checkered slip-on Vans days and make them get on their phones asap to see if they couldn’t find their old MySpace page again. MuchMusic is coming back, why can’t I wear thick & smeared eyeliner too?

lyrics

Wake up in the morning with my head in my hands
Another case of déjà-vu
I look out the window and I don't know
If I will see the day
When I'm standing next to you

We were meant for more than this
What's a man to do?

I've got nothing to say, got nothing to do
But sit and think about you
I've got nothing to win, nothing left to lose
If I'm not next to you (next to you)

Don't want to wake up, put on makeup and wait in line
I've got better things to do
Like sit around and hate myself for the thing that I've become
Or crawling up the walls and getting nothing done.

I can't take no more
What is there left to prove?

I've got nothing to say, got nothing to do
But sit and think about you
I've got nothing to win, nothing left to lose
If I'm not next to, next to you
I'm not gonna stay inside this room
I'm gonna run, yeah, run to you
I've got nothing to win, nothing left to lose
If I'm not next to, next to you

And I can't
And I won't
No, I won't, give it up, give it up
And I can't
And I won't
No, I won't, give it up, give it up, give it up now

I've got something to say, got something to do
I'm gonna run, yeah, run to you
I've got something to win and everything to lose
If I'm not next to, next to you
I'm not gonna stay inside this room
I'm gonna run, yeah, run to you
I've got nothing to win, nothing left to lose
If I'm not next to, next to you
