Wake Me Up (The Voice Performance) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Britton Buchanan & Alicia Keys]
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey ends
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: Britton Buchanan & Alicia Keys]
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, 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


[Verse 2: Britton Buchanan & Alicia Keys]
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, you see
You know 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: Britton Buchanan & Alicia Keys]
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
I didn't know I was lost

[Outro: Britton Buchanan, Alicia Keys, Both]
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
I didn't know I was lost

---

[Outro]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
