Life As We Knew It

We're almost out of fuel
Headed toward the open land
We're stopped in heavy traffic
We're going nowhere fast
Its three in the morning my dad pulls to the side
Lets sleep for a short time then we'll wake up and drive

Toss and turn, cars pass us by
Its cold and windy, but we're still alive
I can't sleep, why are we here
Why cant it be over and back to normal

On the run from the rising tides
Blown away by the gale force winds
Frozen frost bite from the evening cold
Lack of sleep because we are worried to death

Wrapped up tight in my nightmare world

My dad wakes up about eight o'clock
He turns on the truck and drives away
This time around there is a lot less traffic
We can drive faster to get away

On the run from the rising tides
Blown away by the gale force winds
Frozen frost bite from the evening cold
Lack of sleep because we are worried to death

Putting some distance
Between us and the ocean
Total chaos everywhere we go
We don't know where to go
The radio says what direction to go
To find a safe place to go
My mom and dad are strong parents though
I know they'll pull us through this mess

The red sunrise
Lights up the sky
A brand new day
In an ancient story

The radio says the coast is gone
The coast has moved about 14 miles east
The cities have been washed up into the waves
And the people are trying to get away

Life as we knew it is over now
We have to start all over now
Because the earth is turning over now
We have to start all over now
