Wake Me Up

Wake me up in the morning

I’ve been asleep now for too long

The years are slipping out the back door

And I’ve been barely hanging on

Barely hanging on

Did you think that it would stay the same?

Baby, even castles wash away

And outside there’s a cold wind blowing

But you ain’t ready for the rain, the rain

Yeah, the daylight's fading

And I can’t keep waiting

For our times to change

I’ve been pulling punches

I've been selling myself

So short

Well, I’m not selling anymore

I’m not selling anymore

I can feel it coming closer

I can taste the ashes on my tongue

It's your own private apocalypse

What will it take to see what you've missed?

Yeah, the daylight's fading

And I can’t keep waiting

For our times to change

I’ve been pulling punches

I've been selling myself

So short

Well, I’m not selling anymore

I’m ain't selling anymore

One by one

We're dreaming till the day we're done

Don't recognise what I've become

I’m drowning and the lights are off

One by one

We're dreaming till the day we're done

Don't recognise what I've become

I’m drowning and the lights are off

I need to wake up

I need to wake up

Yeah

I need to wake up

So wake me up and shake me down

Show me the truth, shine the sun in my eyes

I don’t wanna hide, I’ve been reading the signs

Got nothing to lose in the pale morning light

So wake me up
