Awake Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got no reasons for the things I do
But I get lost, in my defense, when I am running after you
There must be somethin' in what you don't say
'Cause I can't get past all the fears that you've left me with today

[Chorus]
Please stay awake now, please stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Please stay awake now, please stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes

[Verse 2]
You lock yourself up behind "I love you"
Is that the truth and what you feel or just convenient for you?
And when you tell them that you can't complain
Is that the state of our affairs? Is it November again?

[Chorus]
Please stay awake now, just stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Please stay awake now, just stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Just stay awake now, please stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Just stay awake now, please stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
[Chorus]
Please stay awake now, just stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes
Just stay awake now, please stay awake now
You are as closed as your eyes

[Verse 3]
I'm like an enemy that you don't know
You keep me close, but in the distance, we look better off alone
Make me remember like I'm all brand new
Like when the world was out of focus and I'd end it on you

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 [?]
