Lyrics to "Wake Up! Wake Up!" by Everyday Sunday

I will have to admit I had heard some of the songs from Everyday Sunday's first album and thought they were good but nothing that really differentiated them from many of the other new Christian rock bands trying to be the next Switchfoot or Relient K. Their second album was a bit more interesting, but "Wake Up! Wake Up!" was finally the album that made me actually purchase a CD from them. They have definitely found their own unique "sound" (after some personnel changes) and have a lot more energy in the songs in this album with no really weak or boring tracks among them. I was also surprised to see the album still has Mark Stuart and Will McGinnis from Audio Adrenaline listed as executive producers even though Everyday Sunday left Flicker Records for Inpop.

Their website promotes buying the CD at MusiChristian.com for $10.77 but you can also get it for $9.99 at Christianbook.com. I actually purchased mine new from beanieboys on eBay for $10.00 including shipping and got it fast and in perfect shape.

1. Let's Go Back

I know that you, you are busy living your own life
I can't make you, make you give me all of your time
But I just wish it could be like it was yesterday
I think it stinks that these stupid problems got in the way

So let's go back now to the times that were fun
I'm so sick of the lies that someone else's mind has won
I don't care what they think, I don't care who all cares
I just don't want you to leave

So tell me what you are and
I'll tell you you're so much more than
Anything you thought that you could be/
(So tell me now, tell me anything)
And tell me what you are and
I'll tell you you're so much more than
Anything you thought that you could be
(So tell me now, tell me anything)

So get your car, I'll meet you sometime tonight
I don't care what we do, we can get in a fight
I'm so tired of living in this small, enclosed can
So let me out, we'll have some fun, I'll let you let me make the plans

Why are we waiting on someone else to tell us
how it should be, I've all ready found it,
and God didn't tell me to waste these dreams

So tell me what you are and
I'll tell you you're so much more than
Anything you thought that you could be
(So tell me now, tell me anything)
And tell me what you are and
I'll tell you you're so much more than
Anything you thought that you could be
(So tell me now, tell me anything)

I see you trying so hard to run the race to the finish line
But all this stuff keeps getting in the way

So tell me what you are and
I'll tell you you're so much more than
Anything you thought that you could be
(So tell me now, tell me anything)
And tell me what you are and
I'll tell you you're so much more than
Anything you thought that you could be
(So tell me now, tell me anything)

2. Wake Up! Wake Up!

Feels like I'm going through the motions in the dark
In a world that leaves me with an uninspired heart

All I know is I'm so tired
Living life I barely feel
Give me hope, give me fire
Give me something real

Cause I don't wanna keep sleepwalkin' through
Endless days I've had enough of
Going nowhere, God I want to
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

It's now or never come and pull me from this dream
Where everything is colorless and nothing’s what it seems

I believe only You
Can make me come alive
Help me be so consumed
Open up my eyes

Cause I don't wanna keep sleepwalkin' through
Endless days I've had enough of
Going nowhere, God I want to
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Half asleep
I'm so bored
Counting sheep

Cause I don't wanna keep sleepwalkin' through
Endless days I've had enough of
Going nowhere, God I want to
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Cause I don't wanna keep sleepwalkin' through
Endless days I've had enough of
Going nowhere, God I want to
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

I'm half asleep
I'm so bored
Counting sheep
Wake Up!

3. Take Me Out

I know that I don't feel like talking right now
But I know that You still feel the same
So what do we do when this feeling is gone
What will we do when I realize I am wrong (can you hear me now?)

Take me out of this place
Make me a raging fire
Make me what You want to (want to want to)
Cause I don't want to go down tonight
I don't wanna go without a fight
I don't wanna leave without Your scar

So when You find me in the parking lot
And I say that I've given it all I've got
Will You take me, and make me something new
Because all I wanted to give You
I have taken away
So I beg, You promised, I beg for You to take me
and just forget today (can you hear me now?)

Take me out of this place
Make me a raging fire
Make me what You want to (want to want to)
Cause I don't want to go down tonight
I don't wanna go without a fight
I don't wanna leave without Your scar

I'm after Your own heart
I know we've wrestled round
You've left me with this mark
Can You hear me now

Take me out of this place
Make me a raging fire
Make me what You want to
Cause I don't want to go down tonight
I don't wanna go without a fight
I don't wanna leave without Your scar

Take me out of this place
Take me out of this place
I don't wanna leave without Your scar

4. Find Me Tonight

Yesterday, I could not feel this
Today I'm sick of trying
To live like I can live on my own
This world around me is suffocating
But I keep forgetting
To turn and run into You

So Find me
Wherever I am won't You
Find me
I got myself lost and I
Don't think
I want to be roaming in heartache
Please find me tonight

I make it hard and I can't stand it
Can't wrap my head around it
I wrestle with You more than I should
I make a mess of everything
But You see the best in me
I'll never be too far gone

So Find me
Wherever I am won't You
Find me
I got myself lost and I
Don't think
I want to be roaming in heartache
Please find me tonight

You speak without sound
Your love is so loud
You always save me
You speak without sound
Your love is so loud
You always save me

So Find me (find me)
I don't want to be roaming
So Find me
Wherever I am won't You
Find me
I got myself lost and I
Don't think
I want to be roaming in heartache
Please find me tonight
Tonight
Tonight

5. Apathy for Apologies

Last week you said you'd never do this to me
But now I'm sitting here wondering why I'm on the shelf again
I know you want to get closer to me
But I don't want to go on if you really do not want this

I hate to sound so jaded
But it seems like nothing's changing

My apathy for apologies is getting stronger
No, I can't take this any longer
So why don't you figure out if you want this or not
I know I said that I forgave you
But I don't want to see you go through
All this pain of messing up this night over again

Today you took back everything that you said
And I'm trying so hard to forget all the lies that came right in,
crashing through your teeth
But I can't say that I've been much better
So here's this letter

I hate to sound so jaded
But it seems like nothing's changing

My apathy for apologies is getting stronger
No, I can't take this any longer
So why don't you figure out if you want this or not
I know I said that I forgave you
But I don't want to see you go through
All this pain of messing up this night over again

And over again, is what it feels like
I don't want to sit and watch you live a lie

I hate to sound so jaded
But it seems like nothing's changing

My apathy for apologies is getting stronger
No, I can't take this any longer
So why don't you figure out if you want this or not
I know I said that I forgave you
But I don't want to see you go through
All this pain of messing up this night over again

6. I'll Get Over It (Miss Elaineous)

She came over last night
and said she wanted to talk
But I didn't think she seemed herself
She wore my favorite blue shirt
and tonight I knew
I didn't wanna be with anyone else

And then the next 10 minutes
of my life were a blur
I couldn't believe what she said
She said she thought that we might be better off friends
I said I thought I'd be better off dead

Knees are shaking
and these palms are sweating
while this heart is breaking
can this be ordinary love?

Whoa Whoa
Just close your eyes, it'll all be over soon
Whoa Whoa
Just close your eyes, it'll all be over soon

Now I'm sitting here, trying to find inside
all the right words to say
But I'm still choking from the fumes
from when she drove away

Knees are shaking
and these palms are sweating
while this heart is breaking
can this be ordinary love?

Whoa Whoa
Just close your eyes, it'll all be over soon
Whoa Whoa
Just close your eyes, it'll all be over soon
All be over soon

Knees are shaking
and these palms are sweating
while this heart is breaking
can this be ordinary love?
Knees are shaking
and these palms are sweating
while this heart is breaking
can this be ordinary love?

Whoa Whoa
Just close your eyes, it'll all be over soon
Whoa Whoa
Just close your eyes, it'll all be over
All be over
I'll get over soon

7. What We're Here For

Here we all are in the outfits you picked
and I can't say we're not playing our part
We're the ones you want for now
Will we lift you up to only let you down
and leave you in the dark

Do you like it, cause we just can't help but notice
that you keep on leaving here the same

Are we here tonight for just what you want?
Or is there something else that this is for?
We can't let it slide, and just close our eyes
Cause maybe when it's over you'll walk out the door
With what we're here for

We're like puppets on a string
hanging here until you finally let us go
and us send us out on our way
There is only just one thing
That is worth the time and worth remembering
out there in the fray

And you'll know it, when it hits you in that moment
the truth's the only reason we came

Are we here tonight for just what you want?
Or is there something else that this is for?
We can't let it slide, and just close our eyes
Cause maybe when it's over you'll walk out the door
With what we're here for

We're more than just actors
It's more than a play
This life as you know it's fading away

Are we here tonight for just what you want?
Or is there something else that this is for?
Are we here tonight for just what you want?
Or is there something else that this is for?
We can't let it slide, and just close our eyes
Cause maybe when it's over you'll walk out the door
With what we're here for
What we're here for

8. Now You're Gone

Summer skies to separate lives
Tell me how we let this go
I hate goodbyes, God knows I've tried
I've been staring at this phone

I just thought I'd let you know
All these things I did not show you
I've just got to let you know
That I still care

Now you're gone, I'm all alone
And nothing here is right
I can't go another day
Without you in my life
God knows I'm hurting from keeping it inside
Right now I'm praying that healing comes in time

I wish that I could think of the words to say
to make this feeling go away
But you know that until then I'll be waiting here for you
I just thought I'd let you know
that I still care
that I still care, still care

Now you're gone, I'm all alone
And nothing here is right
I can't go another day
Without you in my life
God knows I'm hurting from keeping it inside
Right now I'm praying that healing comes in time
Comes in time

I've just got to let you know
I've just got to let you know
I've just got to let you know

Now you're gone, I'm all alone
And nothing here is right
I can't go another day
Without you in my life
God knows I'm hurting from keeping it inside
Right now I'm praying that healing comes in time

9. Tell Me You'll Be There

Here we go, on this road
And we're not looking back, just looking ahead
I could see why You'd think
I'd want to be like You
And You know that it's hard
But I've never fallen too far
To escape to a place from Your love

So tell me You'll be there
Tell me You're the cure
And tell me You'll be waiting
When my face is on the floor
So when it rains
And when it floods
When my face is in the mud
Will You be there
Tell me You'll be there

Now it's dark, but the sky
Has never seemed so bright
Come and save me from this field
Of uncertainty

So tell me You'll be there
Tell me You're the cure
And tell me You'll be waiting
When my face is on the floor
So when it rains
And when it floods
When my face is in the mud
Will You be there
Tell me You'll be there

Won't You tell me now (tell me now)
Won't You tell me now

So tell me You'll be there
Tell me You're the cure
And tell me You'll be waiting
When my face is on the floor
So when it rains
And when it floods
When my face is in the mud
Will You be there
Tell me You'll be there
Tell me You'll be there

10. From Me To You

God only knows what's going on inside of me
This world revolves around everything that's not meant to be
These prison walls are closing fast
It's do or die, get me out of this past

There You stand with Your arms wide open
You're calling me to You
I know that Heaven's just one step away
As I reach for You, You hold me and say, "I love You"

I may not always get what I want but I know
That You'll give me everything that I need
So I'll fall as these walls come crumbling down
I cry out. Won't You come down here and rescue me

There You stand with Your arms wide open
You're calling me to You
I know that Heaven's just one step away
As I reach for You, You hold me and say, "I love You"

I never thought, I never thought that You could move me
I never guessed, I never guessed that You could use me
the way You do

There You stand with Your arms wide open
You're calling me to You
There You stand with Your arms wide open
You're calling me to You (me to You)
I know that Heaven's just one step away
As I reach for You, You hold me and say, "I love You"

There You stand with Your arms wide open
You're calling me to You (me to You)
I know that Heaven's just one step away
As I reach for You, You hold me and say, "I love You"
"I love You"
