[Spoken intro]
It was great to work with him, he was a [consummate?] musician. He was looking for someone who could sing like Marvin Gaye, that's what he told me and when we got together making songs, he accidentally double-booked a session with Mike Einziger from Incubus, so I went in and we wrote the song "Wake Me Up."

[Verse 1]
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

[Chorus]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

[Post-Chorus]
(I didn't know)
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
(I didn't know, didn't know, didn't know)

[Verse 2]
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

[Chorus]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

[Post-Chorus]
(I didn't know)
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
