[Verse 1]
Alarm at seven
Same cracked mug, burnt toast
Check my phone, lose ten more minutes
Miss the bus, swear at the coast
Coffee in a paper cup
Clock-in code like a barcode on my wrist
Stare through glass at another gray meeting
Wonder when I signed up for this
[Chorus]
We spent our lives for nothing
Just running that wheel, running that wheel
Wake up, wake up from the loop
This can't be real, can't be how it feels
Throw out the script you were handed
Let that old blue screen go black
We spent our lives for nothing
I want my seconds back
[Verse 2]
Traffic jam, half-baked thoughts
Talk in circles, type and delete
Walk back home on auto-pilot
Keys in the bowl, shoes at my feet
Sit down, screen light on my face
Can's hissing open like it owns my name
Laugh at stuff I don't find funny
Let the day die doing the same
[Bridge]
What if we
Turn it off tonight
Step outside the glow
See each other in real light
What if we
Pour the bottles down the sink
Call our friends, call our parents
Say the things we really think (hey!)
[Chorus]
We spent our lives for nothing
Just running that wheel, running that wheel
Wake up, wake up from the loop
This can't be real, can't be how it feels
Rip up the ad in your head
Let the old dead noise fall flat
We spent our lives for nothing
I want my seconds back
[Chorus]
We spent our lives for nothing
But I'm done just drifting, done standing still
Wake up, wake up from the loop
Let's change this world, bend it to our will
Start with one small morning
Step outside, don't look back
We spent our lives for nothing
Now we want our seconds back
