Is it worth it can you even hear me
standing with your spotlight on me
not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I felt it for awhile now
in this sea of lonely
the taste of ink is getting old
It's four o' clock in the fucking morning
each day gets more and more like the last day
still I can see it coming
while I'm standing in the river drowning
this could be my chance to break out
this could be my chance to say goodbye
at last it's finally over
couldn't take this town much longer
being half dead wasn't what I planned to be
now I'm ready to be free
So here I am it's in my hands
and I'll savor every moment of this
so here I am alive at last
and I'll savor every moment of this
And won't you think I'm pretty
when I'm standing top the bright lit city
and I'll take your hand and pick you up
and keep you there so you can see
as long as you're alive and care
I promise I will take you there
and we'll drink and dance the night away
As long as you're alive
here I am
I promise I will take you there
The Used

This song will reflect my life when I finally get out of this town and out on my own doing what I want to do, I hold this song very close to me as an inspiration.

great song. It flows really well and the lyrics are pretty good. It's probably one of my favorite Used songs... although I've only heard a handful so far. Oh, and fuck you riot girl.

After the first time i heard this song i didn't really like it, but i guess it grew on me. Now, i think it's an okay song with some meaning... kind of.

skoth, you're a fucking idiot for trying to compare a talented act such as Green Day to The Used.

Some people are just way too hard on bands. It's catchy, give em a break. Just cuz alot of people like a song doesn't make it bad folks. Popularity doesn't make something bad.

this song has a great message and its really inspirational. it's a great optimistic song about finally making it... it's nice. gives aspiring rock stars (like me) some motivation.

I agree, this song is incredibly inspirational. The words can easily inspire you to follow your dreams. Great motivation..all you get nowadays from some bands is "I hate my life" lyrics. Nice to see something different. The used is great.

yea this song is a lot more catchy and "poppy" than some of the more raw songs on the album, but that's what radio goes for, and that's when the teeny boppers come in. But nonetheless, this song has some kick ass drums, with a great tune from the guitars that really mesh well with the meaning of the lyrics.
