Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up
And everything had gone
My house was not my home
When I woke up
I woke up
And everything had changed
No, nothing felt the same
Wearing someone else’s shoes
I found
In bins around the town
I’ve been walking round and round
For a clue
[Chorus]
Oh, standing on the edge of a mighty ocean
Waiting for the tide to roll
And within this realm of constant motion
I'm tryna find my role
In it all
When I woke up
[Verse 2]
I woke up
And everyone had gone
No note to say how long
So I stepped into the sun
And waited out the long, long days
With nothing much to say
Only thoughts that pass along
On their way
[Chorus]
Oh, standing by the edge of this mighty ocean
Waiting for the tide to roll
And within this realm of constant motion
I'm tryna find my role
In it all
[Refrain]
When I woke up
When I woke up
Ooh
When I woke up
