Up Against (Blackout) - Taking Back Sunday

So this is what we're up against?
So this is what we're up against?

Face it,
This is what we're up, up against.
You're waiting,
And every minute is a minute away.
Face it,
This is what we're up, up against.
You're waiting,
And every minute is a minute away.

Regrets always work.
Excuses are better.
A practical exchange,
Or a trade for the truth.
But you know it never held up. (But you know it never held up.)
Pretend that it still could now.

Face it,
This is what we're up, up against.
You're waiting.
And every minute is a minute away.
Face it,
This is what we're up, up against.
You're waiting,
And every minute is a minute away.

We're turning our clocks back.
Just never ourselves.
So go with the flow,
Just relax. (Just relax.)
You never feel the jet lag,
Unless you're trying to fit in.

Face it.
This is what we're up, up against.
You're waiting,
And every minute is a minute away.
Face it,
This is what we're up, up against.
You're waiting,
And every minute is a minute away.
(Every minute is a minute away.)

Less is more except,
When it comes to mistakes.
How long is long?
That depends,
How long it takes.

Less is more except, (How long?)
When it comes to mistakes. (How long?)
How long is long? (How long?)
That depends, (How long?)
How long it takes.

Not years, not months ,
Not days, your blackout memory.
Not years, not months,
Not days, your blackout memory.

Face it,
This is what we're up, up against.
You're waiting.
And every minute is a minute away.
Face it,
This is what we're up, up against.
You're waiting,

And every minute is a minute away.
(Every minute is a minute away.)
Every minute is a minute.
And a minute and a minute away.
