Once You Wake Up
And what about the timesNow I'm grabbing out at breaking glassAn attempt to find a memoryThat makes it seem glorious or at least okayBut all I have is meIn a razor caught off guard as you brush byThe alarm wakes me out of bedAnd the dream I was just having simply fades awayAnd blindly do I seeAt the sunlight I am freezingAnd as I start to come around, I want to fall back to the groundRoll over and make sense againBut it's too late I am awakeAnd it's sensation, I can't fake as I try my best to pretendBut once you wake upYou just can't fall back asleep anymoreI know it isn't fairBut once you're awareYou can back track all you wantYou can mourn for what's goneBut you're up either wayYou better deal with your daySongtexteI remember I was tiredIn fact I still have some sleep in my eyesSo I got all warm and safe and numbFigured I'd lie down and rest a whileNext thing came the morningAnd you're shaking me and telling me to riseAnd I would tell you anythingTo stall and make you think or smile or cryYou see all I need is youAnd then I start to understand what love doesNow there's so much that I can giveAnd I finally want to liveYou know before I just didn't really ever careAnd I'll do more than hold onI want to celebrate the dawnI don't ever want to go back to sleep I swearBut once you wake upYou can't just fall back to sleep anymoreI know it isn't fairBut once you're awareYou can backtrack all you wantYou can mourn for what's goneBut you're up either wayYou better deal with your day Aus Songtexte Mania
