Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Falling from cloud nine
(Falling, yeah)
Crashing from the high
(From high)
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
Yeah
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Falling from cloud nine
(It was out of the blue, I)
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(Yeah, I'm ready to go I'm)
Falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
[Verse 9]
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
(I'm wide awake)
God knows that I've tried
(I'm wide awake)
Seeing the bright side
But I'm not blind anymore
[Verse 10]
I'm falling from cloud nine
It was out of the blue, I
Crashing from the high
You know I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake
