Duration: P00H03M14S
Description: "Don’t wake me up... It’s warm in here." A sleepy melody gets plugged into 500 growling tube amps and becomes a pounding sledgehammer driving home a simple point: get out of your head, get out of your bed, get out of your house... All the good stuff is out there. Go get it. 13 bombs go off and finally you're awake.

lyrics

IT’S OUT
copyright 2006 john common music

i just left to catch the bus,
distancing the two of us,
to go to work and fake like i could care.

i imagine you in wrinkled sheets,
flying planes while you're asleep,
waking up and playing solitaire.

go outside. live your life. it's out.

you live too much inside your head.
i've seen all books you've read
that tell you what to think and not to do.

solitude can leave a mark;
leave you standing in the dark
waiting for the light to come find you.

go outside. live your life. it's out.

i don’t care where you go
as long as you know
that it’s good for you.
believe it.

i wonder what you're waiting for...
i see you standing by.
it's out there.
just waiting.
i see you,
don't worry.
