Lyrics to Wide Awake
Wide awake
You're out cold
Is she coming down now?
I don't know
I try lying like a landmine
Rising when the day's dried
Calling out for love
Wide awake
Don't let go
I hum in the background
You bare your soul
Life churns
Fluorescent as the train turns
Catch you and your sunburn
And the lights smear by
And with the window open
You call me outside
An endless mirror glowing
Outside
Wide awake
Still on hold
In line for a lifetime
And in control
See stars
Knocked out in the schoolyard
Glinting off the steel bars
If I stayed all night
You're in a photo image
Overexposed to light
Lips blinding whitе but grinning
Outside
You're out cold
Is she coming down now?
I don't know
I try lying like a landmine
Rising when the day's dried
Calling out for love
Wide awake
Don't let go
I hum in the background
You bare your soul
Life churns
Fluorescent as the train turns
Catch you and your sunburn
And the lights smear by
And with the window open
You call me outside
An endless mirror glowing
Outside
Wide awake
Still on hold
In line for a lifetime
And in control
See stars
Knocked out in the schoolyard
Glinting off the steel bars
If I stayed all night
You're in a photo image
Overexposed to light
Lips blinding whitе but grinning
Outside
