Wake Me Up Lyrics

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
