about: Alarm is all about enjoying the moment. Drunken Sailors is big on that. Alarm knows it doesn't have all the answers, but, hell, it just wants to have a fun night.
lyrics: Up a little past dawn
no more sleep.
Our eyes still heavy, but
we're not alone.
We're not alone.

As we're driving to work
the proof's on the highway:
the traffic's screaming out
"we're not alone;
no, we're not alone."

And every brake-signal's a symbol
that comes crashing down on our dreams:
we're not going anywhere
but we've taken to the streets
to try to give our lives meaning.

And everything I've learned
I've learned from the horizon:
he stumbles, he tries to stay bright,
but he always falls--
and I follow suit.

But tonight I've got some people
who will make things better.
When I'm with them I see like the sun
for just a short time--
with my eyes shining bright.

But tomorrow it all starts again,
when we're back to our day-to-day lives.
But life's just a temporal moment,
so let's make it worthwhile.

And some see their careers shining
like a medal they put on display,
but don't worry if you don't fit in with them,
I think I feel the same.

Because it's our time spent
that means anything to me.
And I don't care
if I die and don't leave a legacy.

As long as I got to enjoy this
wonderful life you all help me lead.
So let's shut the door on Hubris tonight.
Let's just smile and sing.
