Red Hot
ELLEGARDEN Lyrics

Wake me up before you leave
Please wake me up before you leave because I have an interview today and I need to make sure I don't oversleep and miss it.

I've got an interview today
I have an important appointment today that could potentially lead to a job.

I wanna job so don't forget to lend me some for train
I want a job so badly that I don't even have money to pay for my train fare to get there, so I hope you can lend me some.

I'm growing up to be a better man
I am maturing and trying to improve myself as a person.

But I always fail I'm still a dirty bug
Despite my efforts to improve, I still feel like a failure and unworthy of success.

I wanna grab the flag
I want to achieve my goals and succeed in life.

But there's always someone faster
However, it often feels like there are others who are more successful and accomplished than me, and it's hard to keep up.

I'm trying to live a bit seriously
I am attempting to be more responsible and take life more seriously.

But what's on my mind is you know always girls
Despite my attempts at maturity, I still find myself constantly thinking about and distracted by girls.

Vitaminize me
I want something to boost my energy and mood, like taking vitamins.

Pass me the potato chips
I want a snack to munch on, like potato chips.

You know what When nothing's going right
When things aren't going well, you know what it feels like.

You know what It's like a magic thing
Despite the difficulties, there's something almost magical about persevering and pushing through tough times.

I got the music playing loud in my head
Music is a constant source of comfort and inspiration for me, playing constantly in my mind.

I got a red hot chili blows it away
There's a particular song or band that I'm really into lately, like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, that just blows me away.

Turn the blinker off we go straight ahead
Instead of turning and following the path that others have set before me, I want to go straight ahead and blaze my own trail.

I'm going down like 20 times a day
I experience setbacks and failures regularly, possibly even as often as 20 times a day.

It could be less or maybe the same as you
Despite my struggles, I know that other people face similar challenges, and that maybe some people have it even worse than me.

And I'm floating up more than a million times a day
At the same time, I also experience moments of hope and inspiration that give me a sense of buoyancy and lift me up from my difficulties.

I'm trying to live a bit cautiously
I want to be more careful and thoughtful in my actions and decisions.

But what's one my mind is always having fun
Despite my attempts at caution, I still crave excitement and fun in my life.

I know nicotine kills
I am aware that smoking is harmful and can lead to serious health consequences.

But quitting smoking kills me now
However, I am also struggling with the difficult process of quitting smoking, which is making me feel worse in the moment even though it's the right decision in the long run.

As always things won't be better
I am accustomed to difficult periods in my life, and I know that things won't necessarily get better anytime soon.

As always no one understands
Even though it feels like everyone goes through difficult times, it can still feel lonely and isolating to struggle on your own.

As always I'll do anything
Despite the challenges, I am determined to keep going and will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals.

As always if it makes you laugh
Even if it feels like things are falling apart, I am willing to do whatever it takes to make someone else happy, even if it's just by making them laugh.

I got the music playing loud in my head
Music remains a powerful force in my life, providing a much-needed escape and comfort during tough times.

I got a red hot chili blows it away
My love of music hasn't diminished, and I still get incredibly excited and moved by particular bands and songs that resonate with me.

I got the music playing loud in my head
I continue to find solace and inspiration in music, which is always playing in my mind.

Turn the blinker off we are heading ahead
Rather than conforming to expectations or taking a predetermined path, I am pushing forward in my own direction and following my own instincts.
