Another night and I can't sleep
I need to cry but I can't weep
Feeling that I've lost control
Where's my spirit, where's my very soul?
What's the future? There's no cheer
Feeling too much doubt and fear
I hide and run, I run and hide
I just can't face the world outside my dreaming
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Giving me a shake and it's true
Love is what pulls us through
It's so good when you're by my side
No longer need to run and hide
And when I'm dancing, singing along
Nothing seems to be so right or wrong
Don't you worry, don't you sigh
It's not on you that I rely
You sing love, I sing along
Celebration in this song for you
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Giving me a shake and it's true
Love is what pulls us through
Ooh, I'm wide awake and there's you
Giving me a shake and it's true
Pain inside me is taking over again
Wide awake I open my eyes into a nightmare of a life that I despise I gotta,
break it down to the bare essentials 'cause life's too short to be sentimental.
Twisting around inside my head so many crazy visions - am I better off dead?
Filled with dread - gun under the bed to clip all the motherfuckers trying
to keep me down, I ain't fuckin' around.
Wide awake my eyes are open I can't breathe my heart is choking and I can't speak
the words unspoken and I can't believe my life is broken again... (my life is broken)
Keep trying to tell myself "everything will be OK, everything will go my way"
'till life steps in and slaps on the strangle, tears flow and fists start to mangle.
I wake up screaming everyday, nobody pays attention when I'm writhing in pain,
I got a glitch in my brain I gotta break free from anxiety, I gotta let go of life
'cause it's killing me
[Chorus:]
Wide awake my eyes are open I can't breathe my heart is choking and I can't speak
the words unspoken and I can't believe my life is broken again...
My eyes are open, my heart is choking, on words unspoken, my life is broken again
I can't believe my life is broken apart again, I can't conceive my time was never
well spent, sick of everybody talking about the things they never do, motherfuckers
talking shit about who?
YOU!!
[Lead]
Pain inside me is taking over again
[Chorus]
How many times can you ask for a chance and expect everybody to keep giving it,
forgiving it?
The rebel inside
A mind of my own
I haven't felt right
Since the moment that I gave up.
I challenge my limits
I'm feeling I'm becoming meaningless
I take it all in
And inhale.
I'm wide awake
Open my eyes
And the sky's so blue
All of the sudden
I know that I treasure my life
I find myself
Wide awake
Like you...
The struggle within
Now I understand
Freedom begins
When you get out of the cage
You've built.
It looks like I'm crazy
But I'm not the only one
To believe in myself
Believe in myself
I won't be coming undone
Cause I feel like...
I'm wide awake
Open my eyes
And the sky's so blue
All of the sudden
I know that I treasure my life
I find myself
Wide awake
Like you...
I'm wide awake
I open my eyes
And the sky's so blue
All of the sudden
I know that I treasure my life
All of the sudden
I know that I treasure my life
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete[Chorus]
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(Yeah I'm) Falling from cloud 9
I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself - nooohooo
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Outta the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete[Chorus]
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight (yeah, I'm letting go)
I'm Falling from cloud 9
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
But I'm not blind anymore...
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
You know I'm letting go tonight
I'm Falling from cloud 9
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake full of faith and destiny
Am I safe?
You're away
The red wine makes me fall into sleep
I'm awake
I can't sleep coz I'm worrying again
Wide awake
With passion I build up my world
Every day having espresso in a cafe
I ride
Where I ride I don't really know
It's inside
It's inside but outside it's also nice
I seek for adventures, to go very far
Further than distance, with my Jaguar
Wish I could see myself
Wish I could pray for us today
The stories are for kids,
but this is pure reality, just like you, just like me
An old lady sits in a corner
with some wisdom on her face
She has a long story to tell,
an ugly life with full discrace... on her face
Wide awake
I know there's always a way
Anyway,
I need to see all the cards of fate
I sway
by the beauty of the shores of Seine
I'm insane
It's inside but outside it's also nice
I always come back, and I always leave,
looking for something, wish I could be healed
Wish I could see myself
Wish I could pray for us today
The stories are for kids,
but this is pure reality, just like you, just like me
An old lady sits in a corner
with some wisdom on her face
She has a long story to tell,
an ugly life with full discrace... on her face
Wide awake,
I'm Wide Awake
It's Time To Make It On My Own
Wide Awake, The Dream Is Over
I'm Wide Awake
It's Time To Make It On My Own
Time To Find My Way Back Home
The Dream Is Over...
I'm Wide Awake
There's No Story Left To Tell
No Answers Left To Find
There's No Use In Looking Back
At What's Been Left Behind
No More Dancing In The Dark
No Promise Left To Break
The Road Ahead Is Waiting
For The Steps That I Should Take...
I'm Wide Awake
It's Time To Make It On My Own
Wide Awake
The Dream Is Over
I'm Wide Awake
It's Time To Make It On My Own
Time To Find My Way Back Home
The Dream Is Over...
I'm Wide Awake
There's No Letter Left To Write
No Captains Left To Kirk
There's No Use In Going Back
To What Would Never Work
No More Dancing In The Rain
No Promise Left To Break
The Road Ahead Is Waiting
For The Steps That I Should Take...
I'm Wide Awake
It's Time To Make It On My Own
Wide Awake
The Dream Is Over
I'm Wide Awake
It's Time To Make It On My Own
Time To Find My Way Back Home
The Dream Is Over...
You can a look a hurricane right in the eye.
1200 people dead or left to die.
Follow the leaders, were it an eye for an eye we'd all be blind.
Deaf or murdered, and this I'm sure in this uncertain time.
So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today.
I found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake.
Down on the road the world is floating by.
The poor and undefended left behind.
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil,
As if the whole world were blind, hey.
So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today.
I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake.
Come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I've seen today
I found you guilty of a crime of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
You can look a hurricane right, in the eye
Twelve hundred people that are, left to die
Follow the leaders, were it an eye
For an eye we'd all blind
Deaf of murdered, of this I'm sure
In this unsettled time
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite, what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Down on the road the world is, floating by
The poor and undefended, left behind
While you're somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world was blind
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite, what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
So come pull a sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite, what I've seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
Of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
It starts with an other day, alone in your heart
There's gotta be another way for me to get to you
This distance is real, my heart burns at the wheel
There's gotta be another way for me to get to you
Pre-chorus:
I saw you leaning on the hood of my car
We're not leaving here, we're not leaving here
I need to be with you alone in my arms,
I am dying here, I am dying here
Chorus:
When you're not home
When you're not home
We're laying wide awake
We're always wide awake
It starts with another day, alone in your room
I wish I had the time to stay
But it's something I have to do
This distance is real and you're dying to feel
There's gotta be another way for me to get to you
Pre-chorus:
I saw you leaning on the hood of my car
We're not leaving here, we're not leaving here
I need to be with you alone in my arms,
I am dying here, I am dying here
Chorus:
When you're not home
When you're not home
We're laying wide awake
We're always wide awake
I am dying here
I am dying here
It starts with an other day, alone in your car
Girl I know it’s late for me to be callin’
But what else was I gonna do
I wake up with a heart full of love
And no one around to give it to
It’s just me here staring up at the ceiling
Feelin’ like a watch that’s been wound too tight
Nothin’ but the sound of the box cars rumblin’
In the middle of the night
And I’m wide awake thinkin’ bout you baby
I’m wide awake and I’m goin’ crazy
I’m wide awake
Now honey how about you?
Don’t ya ever feel like this ‘ole rock we’re ridin’
Is only ruenin’ to wear yah down
And don’t yah wish that you had someone there
To wrap your lovin’ arms around
And I’m wide awake thinkin’ bout yah baby
I’m wide awake and I’m goin’ crazy
I’m wide awake
Now honey how bout you?
Ah honey how bout you?
And I’m wide awake
Oh, I’m thinki’n bout ya baby
I’m wide awake
Ah, and I’m goin’ crazy
I’m wide awake
Now honey how bout you?
How bout you baby?
You know I’m wide awake
And I’m thinkin bout ya
I’m wide awake
Oh, and I’m goin’ crazy
I’m wide awake
Now honey how about you
I'm breaking promises and breaking you apart
while this constant battle rages in my mind.
Over which path to take
How much of this is fate
and how much is just a waste of time
Because I don't know just what I need
Stuck somewhere in the in-between
3 in the morning and I wish that I could sleep.
But I'm wide awake.
Medicine bottle's laying empty on the floor
But I still can't make these headaches go away
More of a bastard than I've ever been before
I'd be better off just bashing in my brains.
All this feels like it's some other life
Doesn't it seem way too dark tonight
Because I don't know just what I need
Stuck somewhere in the in-between
3 in the morning and I'm writing this all down
I was dead on the floor
When I first met you
Like a Junkie on his knees
I realize what you turned me into
A broken image of me
The freak that crawls in the heart of sin
It 雜 easy if you try
You feel so dead
It's in your head
And your throat is getting dry
And it gets you off
Never before have you felt this way
And it turns you on, and it gets you off
I'm wide awake and it seems to me
I don't care if I'm in too deep
(I don't care if I ever sleep)
Far away I can hear them cry
And you don't care if I say "goodbye"
(I don't care if they say "goodbye")
Like a fly on the wall
You turn me in
A sickness that you breathe
I realize what their looking right through
And the water's getting deep
There's nothing to hide when the light goes dim
So even if you try
So far behind, your little mind
Your face is turning white
And it gets you off
Never before have you felt this way
And it turns you on and it gets you off
I'm wide awake and it seems to me
I don't care if I'm in too deep
(I don't care if I ever sleep)
Far away I can hear them cry
And you don't care if I say "goodbye"
(I don't care if they say "goodbye")
I was dead on the floor
When I first met you
A sickness that you breathe
I realize what you turned me into
And the water's getting deep
Freak that crawls in the heart of sin
So easy if you try
You think you're high
You wanna die
Your throat is getting dry
And it gets you off
Never before have you felt this way
And it turns you on and it gets you off
I'm wide awake and it seems to me
I don't care if I'm in too deep
(I don't care if I ever sleep)
Far away I can hear them cry
And you don't care if I say "goodbye"
I'm wide awake
Its two in the morning
no time to take a break
don’t throw it all away
when the sun comes up
I'll think about tomorrow
every second i take
cause I'm living for today
my world is spinning’
round and round
doesn’t matter where i am
as long as I'm with you i belong
I like it when you’re on the floor
whose the man behind the door
oh wait its me
I'll sing along
cause I'm wide awake
its two in the morning
no time to take a break
don’t throw it all away
when the sun comes up
I'll think about tomorrow
every second i take
cause I'm living for today
my world is spinning’
round and round
doesn’t matter where I am
as long as I'm with you I belong
i like it when you’re on the floor
whose the girl behind the door
oh wait its you
we’ll sing along
if you ever see me slipping away
please hold on to me tight
if you never see the light of day
please hold on to the night
cause I'm wide awake
its two in the morning
no time to take a break
don’t throw it all away
when the sun comes up
I'll think about tomorrow
every second i take
cause I'm living for today
if you ever see me slipping away
please hold on to me tight
if you never see the light of day
please hold on to the night
cause I'm wide awake
I'm wide-awake.
Wide.
I'm wide-awake.
I see the moves that you're trying to make.
You think I'm sleeping be I'm wide-awake.
All this spinning makes me dizzy.
It makes me sick.
Color-coded fear to ensure you fall in line when they crack the whip.
I'm not scared.
I'm wide-awake.
Do you really trust the things they feed you in the news?
Corporations own the networks that help to skew our views.
I'm not fooled.
I see the moves that you're trying to make.
You think I'm sleeping but I'm wide-awake.
I know the moves you're trying to make.
You want me sleeping but I'm wide-awake.
Like a fault line moving beneath our feet; slipping slowly, you barely notice.
Until the ground gives way beneath you,
And the world crumbles down around you.
You want me under?
Put me under.
Put me under.
Put me under.
I can't speak and I can't breathe
And no words are comin' out of me
And I can't tell if I'm upside down
Or if I'm just goin' round and round
I trap myself in idioms
With the battles raging in my head
And I can't tell if I'm fallin' in
Or if I'm just climbin' up again
Hey man, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm wide awake man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm wide awake man
I'm so anxious, I packed my head
In a paper bag to quell my nerves
Have I lost all my urgency
Or can I be part of history?
You say I hide in my dreams
So I tell myself don't sleep, don't sleep
Don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep, don't sleep
Don't sleep, save all your energy to say
Hey man, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm wide awake man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm wide awake man
Hey man, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm wide awake man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm wide awake man
Open, open your up your mind now
Open up the sky now
Come on and fly now, hey, hey
Open, open your up your mind now
Open up wide now
Come on let me in now, hey, hey, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Open, open and fly now
Come on and try now
Come on and try now, hey, hey, hey, hey
Does anybody hear?
I'm sorry that I'm late
I hate to keep you waiting
I try to get it right
But all I get is wrong
My memories are fading long
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna live myself to the bitter top
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna spin my wheels till I make it stop
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna build my ship till I've had enough
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna dive myself into this water
I'm sorry that I'm late
It happens all the time and if you walked away
You know you'd do better
I try to get it right
But all I get is wrong
My memories are fading long
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna live myself to the bitter top
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna spin my wheels till I make it stop
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna build my ship till I've had enough
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna dive myself into this water
As long as I am wide awake
As long as I am wide awake
As long as I am wide awake
As long as I am wide awake
And I left my pieces everywhere
And I sat my arse down on this chair
Come and stare, I'll be here
As long as I'm alive
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna live myself to the bitter top
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna spin my wheels till I make it stop
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna build my ship till I've had enough
I'm wakin' up
I'm wakin' up
I wanna dive myself into this water
As long as I am wide awake
(I'm wakin' up)
As long as I am wide awake
(I'm wakin' up)
As long as I am wide awake
(I'm wakin' up)
As long as I am wide awake
Is anybody here?
I'm sorry that I'm late
Wide awake and I am hardly taking
I didn't have a lot to say
Is this really love, or the reflection
On and on
Give up everything
Leave without it
We are not coming back now
In my mind, we are all one
Floating in a world, misunderstood
I heard the voice of God in the reflection
On and on
Give up everything
Leave without it
to be wide awake
to be frank with me
don? t de discouraged
you gonna be so free
to be horrified
if it escalates
even the pious side
is desolated
in the disarray
we are in a rush
it?s pay one?s way
and eat my dust
to be wide awake
to be frank with me
don? t be discouraged
you gonna be so free
why bother? you might ask
you know it couldn? t last
to look for a reason isn?t beside the point
to figure what went wrong
?so the pale faces
were discoloured
well in any case
a new world is disclosed
it seems what we heard
is just a tale
all the misbelievers failed
should the irritable mood
fly away !
let the gloomy meetings end!
oh let?s go on dancing
though the chaos is perfect
why bother? you might ask
you know it couldn't last
to look for a reason isn? t beside the point
to figure what went wrong
You see everything in front of you
Try to understand it all
I’m looking out in the same way
But all I see is you
I know you better than him
And I can't stay for long
So make up your mind
Before I'm gone
[Chorus:]
It's 4 am and I'm wide awake
And in the silence
I hear my heart break
Don't say good night and walk away
Stay next to me through night and day
I stay up late
Cause you call me at night
And even though I have to sleep
I hold the phone tight
Sometimes forgetting isn't enough
When you call my name
And slam the door in my face
You leave my world to wait
[Chorus]
Everything’s still is wrong
I'm still here and you're still gone
Why can't you see it?
I’m standing right here
Why can't you feel it?
I need you near
I need you near
[Chorus]
Through night and day.
Back to square one
When love was on my side
For us to find
When your heart skipped a beat from a slight touch
When love, it was broken and replaced by lust
Baby I’m a sucker for a happy ending
Killing myself to bring you back to me
Maybe there’s a better time to stop pretending
It’s all a lie, but it sure feels right to sing
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
We never saw it coming
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
All the nights and the fights that we lost
It’s not over till they said “I had enough”
Back to day one
When all that mattered most
Was keeping close
But when my heart finally settles on that last beat
I’ll make you regret the things you said to me
Remember night with all my might
She starts to scream “what’s happened to me?”
Baby I’m a sucker for a happy ending
Killing myself to bring you back to me
Maybe there’s a better time to stop pretending
It’s all a lie, but it sure feels right to sing
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
We never saw it coming
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
All the nights and the fights that we lost
It’s not over till they said “I had enough”
I heard a whisper
I caught a scream
From down the hall it came to me
I felt the warm inside my bed
From someone else
I can’t pretend
Baby I’m a sucker for a happy ending
Killing myself to bring you back to me
Maybe there’s a better time to stop pretending
It’s all a lie, but it sure feels right to sing
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
We never saw it coming
Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh
All the nights and the fights that we lost
My mistake, you should never be afraid to cut your losses
now I know, now I know
It was mine to make, I was putting up a fight for worthless causes
now I know, just to let it go
I was dying for our moment to arrive
now I'm running further just to feel alive
(Chorus)
Don't wanna get caught up dreaming of your love
cause when I open my eyes there's not a shot in this life
I might as well give up and save all my good luck
for when I've when I've got the extra change
you can move aside cause now I'm wide awake
Calling out you don't even pick it up on nights and weekends
over and over
Talk about not giving up for all the wrongest reasons
over and over
How was I mislead for so much time?
when it's all been said and done I'll be alright
(Chorus)
Don't wanna get caught up dreaming of your love
cause when I open my eyes there's not a shot in this life
I might as well give up and save all my good luck
for when I've when I've got the extra change
you can move aside cause now I'm wide awake
But is it getting any better yet?
Is it getting any better yet?
Well is it getting any better yet?
The word is out that I'm not giving in
and if you're ready by now well it's too late to begin
Don't wanna get caught up
dreaming of your love
cause when I open my eyes
(Chorus)
Don't wanna get caught up dreaming of your love
cause when I open my eyes there's not a shot in this life
I might as well give up and save all my good luck
for when I've when I've got the extra change
Her masquerade is standing there by fault
She's an artist
She's a typical mistake
She lacks the rage
This sickness is growing inside me
In the form of sleepless days
But I wont fall
Get up
Get up
Girl why you standing out my door?
Was it worth it?
Did you enjoy it?
Shut up
Shut up
There's not one word that you can say
Was it worth it?
Did I deserve this?
And now I see your eyes
To think that this all had potential
What a fool I've become
Still didn't take you to be
The only one that could ever deceive
My heart, now it's taking all control
But I wont fall
Get up
Get up
Girl why you standing out my door?
Was it worth it?
Did you enjoy it?
Shut up
Shut up
There's not one word that you can say
Was it worth it?
Did I deserve this?
Realize I got this under control
I'm not who I want to be but at least I have some dignity
Get up
Get up
Girl why you standing out my door?
Was it worth it?
Did you enjoy it?
Shut up
Shut up
There's not one word that you can say
Was it worth it?
Your cunning moves give it away
Your evil intentions display
Your only wish is that I'll crumble
Behind your smile lies betray
Trusted secrets you promised not to say
I swallowed water filled with glass
Wide awake
Wings I have you'll never take
Wide awake
The web you weave makes you deceive
Pilfered hopes and the air that I breathe
Your only wish is that I'll crumble
One day I'm fine next day I'm sick
Taking me farther brick by brick
This wall's been made to hold me back
Burn within your anguish
Paralyzed by sorrow
Locked within these cages
Wide awake
Fear is now the only thing that's keeping me
Wide awake
With no evidence your new defense is useless
You can find your way around it, the obvious truth
Back when inebriant and ignorant and cruel
I was spinning all around just waiting here for you
To find your way in
Hoping you find your way in
'Cause I'm wide awake
You are now the only thing that's keeping me
Wide awake
Yeah I'm wide awake
Fear is now the only thing that's keeping me
Wide awake
You were brilliant turned hesitant fool
You just have to look around you'll figure out its true
That when inebriant you're ignorant and cruel
And I'm the fool standing here waiting up for you
To find your way in
Hoping you find your way in
[chorus]
Fearing me obsolete...
Thinking I should clear out my mind
So I can't
Hesitate, complicate, anything anymore
It's a
Slow defeat empty sheets look at me lying on the floor
It's a
Slow defeat empty sheets look at me wanting so much more
[chorus]
That time you woke up in the night, you felt cold and you started to tremble
Reborn in me oh merciful life
You deserve a better way
Don't let the universe stomp on you
Fuck!
No chance to run away from this guillotine
"Remember you'll always be unique"
Wasted words whispered in a rainy night,
When haze caressed your face, and your voice moved me to tears
Fight!
Fight for freedom
Fight for your life
Fight with the soul
Defend yourself
I am forsaken, I am impure
Purify my sins, give me a sense of existence,
Give me a future, show me the way to follow
That time you woke up in the night, you felt cold and you started to tremble
Reborn in me oh merciful life
Fight!
Fight for freedom
Fight for your life
Fight with the soul
Defend yourself
I am forsaken, I am impure
Purify my sins, give me a sense of existence,
Give me a future, show me the way to follow
When you think things are going badly be prepared for the worst,
So be prepared to live the worst time of your life
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong?
I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud 9
I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
I'm only human, what a lousy excuse
but we're playing a game now, I'm meant to loose
consider me dangerous, consider us a crime
when I fall asleep now, I can't close my eyes
chorus:
wide awake, I'm wide awake and I say
I don't know how, I don't know when (repeat 1 more time)
it's you versus me now, just the two of us
hard to tell the difference between hatred and lost
we can't stay together, we can't stay alone
a night full of pleasure, to scream and moan
chorus
repeat
A beautiful and blinding morning
The world outside begins to breathe
See clouds arriving without warning
I need you here to shelter me
And I know that only time will tell us how
To carry on without each other
So keep me awake to memorize you
Give me more time to feel this way
We can't stay like this forever
But I can have you next to me today
If I could make these moments endless
If I could stop the winds of change
If we just keep our eyes wide open
Then everything would stay the same
And I know that only time will tell me how
We'll carry on without each other
So keep me awake for every moment
Give us more time to be this way
We can't stay like this forever
But I can have you next to me today
We'll let tomorrow wait, you're here, right now, with me
All my fears just fall away, when you are all I see
We can't stay like this forever
But I have you here today
And I will remember
Oh I will remember
I feel the cold setting in
I feel the goosebumps all over my skin
I start to fear the worst, I'm feeling so alone
I shouldn't feel like this in my own home
Feels like my teeth are falling out
From all the gibberish that's been pouring out my mouth
What was I thinking? What was I doing with that milf?
My chin is exhausted, man it was time for filth
And it's not a good way to start the day
I know it's done me no good
I don't wanna face the world, though I know I should
Tell myself I won't do it again, but I know I will be
Lying in my bed my thoughts racing
Like they always have been
Like they always will be
Like they always have been
Like they always will be
And I feel that chill back in the air
Though I can't see no one, I feel their stares
They've sussed me out my name, know everything I've done
And this could be our secret, if they just don't tell no one
And it's not a good way to start the day
I know it's done me no good
I don't wanna face the world, though I know I should
Tell myself I won't do it again, but I know I will be
Lying in my bed my thoughts racing
Like they always have been
Like they always will be
Like they always have been
Like they always will be
Like they always have been
And the sun's gone down and I'd love it to rise
Lets me know that I've survived
Every noise runs down my spine
Keep the clock to check the time
I need to talk, need conversation
Rack my brain for explanations
Need you here just holding me
Shield me so they'll leave me be
But that's the way I'll always be
And that's the way it's always been
And that's the way it'll always be
It's not a good way to start the day
I know it's done me no good
I don't wanna face the world, though I know I should
Tell myself I won't do it again, but I know I will be
Lying in my bed my thoughts racing
Like they always have been
Not a good way to start the day
I know it's done me no good
I don't wanna face the world, though I know I should
I tell myself I won't do it again, but I know I will be
Lying in my bed my thoughts racing
Like they always have been
Like they always will be
Like they always have been
Like they always will be
I'm wide awake
There is no need to stir anyone
I'm quite the fake
I'll convince myself before I'm done
Where are you, where are you now?
Can't see the light
I seem to stumble at every turn
Can't make it right
Flames will light my way when I burn
First Kiss, First Touch
First Time You Ever Said It Back
When I Close My Eyes I Still Remember
Too Much, Too Fast
Too Good To Ever Make It Last
And When I Woke Up You Were Gone
Now I Keep Dreaming Of Falling Back To Sleep
Coz I Know You Will Be Waiting There For Me
And Every Breath Keeps Me Praying For The Night
Coz I Know You're On The Other Side
But I'm Wide Awake
I'm Wide Awake
Since You Went Away
I'm Wide Awake
Last Hope, Last Chance
Last Time I Ever Felt Alive
Was Before The Morning Pulled You Under
Tonight, Too Close
To Lose The Only Thing That I
Ever Believed Could Save Me Now
Now I Keep Dreaming Of Falling Back To Sleep
Coz I Know You Will Be Waiting There For Me
And Every Breath Keeps Me Praying For The Night
Coz I Know You're On The Other Side
But I'm Wide Awake
(But I'm Wide Awake)
I'm Wide Awake
I'm Wide Awake
I Can't Escape
I'm Wide Awake
Now I Keep Dreaming Of Falling Back To Sleep (Falling Back To Sleep)
Coz I Know You Will Be Waiting There For Me (Waiting There For Me)
And Every Breath Keeps Me Praying For The Night (Praying For The Night)
Coz I Know You're On The Other Side
But I'm Wide Awake
I'm Wide Awake
Since You Went Away
I'm Wide Awake
But I'm Wide Awake (And Every Breath Keeps Me Praying For The Night)
I'm Wide Awake
Since You Went Away (I Know You're On The Other Side)
I'm Wide Awake
I buried my face into my palms again
Tryin' to wake up
On my world that is tired of spinnin' here
Why do I fail my feet are stuck to cement
Sink into the bottom of my soul
I try to stand up to catch my self reflection
The shattered pieces collapse to the floor
Why can't I crawl to my dark corner, hard and cold
Sometimes my grip wants to let go
So wide a wide awake I lay
Do I have what it's gonna take
To keep on keeping on
So wide a wide awake I lay
Can I take this weight from holdin' me down
Another morning sucked that night
Another night passes away
(Recently it all just feels the same)
I try to laugh it off, but it grows where I'm soft
Gripping into me while I sleep
Holdin' on feels like the wrong direction
Why do my dreams come out fake
A lot, a lot short of satisfaction
It least I'm locked in a familiar place
So wide a wide awake I lay
Do I have what it's gonna take
To keep on keeping on
So wide a wide awake I lay
Can I take this weight from holdin' me down
I work myself over
I work myself over, again
So wide a wide awake I lay
Do I have what it's gonna take
To keep on keeping on
So wide a wide awake I lay
There was a time in my life,
when I thought, my only choice
was to run away
From, so much, hatred
oh it seems sometimes,
that the killing will never end
I was afraid,
I could not see the end,
in sight
and so i did
what so many others often do
I took all my feelings
and i put them all to sleep
until i could not feel
anymore pain
But you cannot change a thing
if you cannot feel your heart
and so I prayed for strength
to help me face my fears
I remember the day
and although it hurt me deep
I was happy for my tears
For it meant that i was wide awake
ready to take my place
in the war that's going
for hearts and mind
For it meant that i was wide awake
and I won't hesitate to stand and tell the truth
to save a life
So many suffer and cry
while too many of us turn our heads
and hide
oh... for lack of our love
today 10,000 children closed their eyes
and died
oooh its hard to take
we cannot face this madness
and so we go back to the place
where we feel safe
oh , we take all of our feelings
and put them all to sleep
until we cannot feel
anymore pain
Don't be be afraid
because wide awake
there will be many others
who join you on your way
oh and there is so much beauty
you just have to open up your eyes
wide awake sometimes your heart will break
when you hear another anguished cry
oh but in the middle of the sorrow
you have to realise
if you cannot look
then you cannot change
open up your eyes
don't be afraid
i'm right beside you
i'm here beside you
i'll never leave you lonely
i keep my head up
and my heart wide open
don't go to sleep
don't slumber
wake up
we're depending on you.
I'm thankful
and I'm so grateful
Please open your books
Follow the passages
And highlight the ones where I save you
Isn't it better when the stories come true?
I went back and forth
I went back and forth
Mental pictures of the hallway and the front door
Writing a report
With these things of yours
I've got your details and your facts
Wide awake, please wake up, I'm wide awake
There's something I must say to you
I would die for you
If you want me to
I'll still be here to haunt you
You me my love
Is it wrong if I feel lucky?
When there's bandages and blood
Appearances mean nothing
What can I read for you today?
I am afraid you are recovering
Will I find you in love?
I went back and forth
I went back and forth
Mental pictures of the hallway and the front door
Writing a report
With these things of yours
I've got your details and your facts
Wide awake, please wake up, I'm wide awake
There's something I must say to you
I would die for you
If you want me to
I've been around the world and back
Seen the world with my own eyes
But never quite like that
Never since that one small day that it was me
Tearing down an open door
Seemed to work allright
A promise that I failed to keep last night
I hardly got an hour's sleep
But I am
Wide awake
Wide awake
Glad that you're not here
I am on my own
Wish I could be there with you
I've been around the world and back
Seen a lot of weary eyes
But never quite like that
Never in my life I saw a thing like that
I have never felt so sure
Give my baby girl a kiss
And tell her Daddy's gone to Mom
I think that I won't make it home
