Wake up, Scarlett
It's been a long night and a high price
It's up, I'm done
See your soul sway in the daylight

Did I steal your sense of wonder
Innocence and sight?
I'm strung up like a highwayman
Who didn't get it right

I feel like I'm falling down
I feel like I'm falling down
I'm hard as the hardest ground

Stand up, Scarlett
Seal this bad scene with the ocean
Burn up, return
And I'll build with you a dwelling
And the sadness will be healing

Tripping through the birdsong
Just as guilty as a gun
And dropping like a suicidal
Planet in the sun

I feel like I'm falling down
I feel like I'm falling down
I'm cold as the coldest ground

Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up
