I'm strolling alone
on the street where all the lights are gone
My midnight thoughts and mood, I have nobody to send to
Your infectious voice,
out of nowhere intrude into my ears,
anxiously telling me to get out of here right now

If you don't stop and get back,
take a grip on the dream that you had
Darkness in the night will slowly swallow you up
You hand over an olive branch,
hope that someday I'll reach out and catch
Far away, for so long you have been waiting just to
wake me up, wake me up, wake me up

Look up to the cloudy sky, turn around and say goodbye
You see I'm shining brighter than you could even try
All of your sweetest talk, I don't want to hear no more
Bye bye, my lie. Another day's going to dawn
wake me up, wake me up

Back in the days I broke from the chains and never looked back
Naively thought I could use anger to resolve everything
Without a reason, I kept on dreaming about the other side
So many times, I was about to step over the line

Your words blur my clarity
I no longer know what the hell true love is
Unresolved feelings trapped on this merry-go-round
Start on our own new story, sing our never-ending flowing melodies
Never too late to
wake me up, wake me up, wake me up

Tell me where I should look for the answer for my life
Oh, I know. And I've seen through the worst lies that you told
Now I am wide awake, keep your fakeness to yourself
Bye bye, your lie. Time to start another life
wake me up, wake me up

Tell me where I should look for the answers for my life
Oh, I know. And I've seen through the worst lies that you told

The sound of thundering, it declares the start of spring
You see I'm shining brighter than you could even try
We'll keep on moving on. I'm sure it won't take too long
Side by side, in my life. A brand new day's going to dawn
wake me up, wake me up
wake me up, wake me up
