Don’t Wake Me Up Lyrics
Sun kissed my face
Wishing for the real thing
Lonely and out of place
When I don't have you with me
Does your heart say the same
On all these nights alone? Yeah
Or is it just me
Hoping you'll come home?
[Pre-Chorus: Jonah]
'Cause I don't know if I can make you happy
No matter what the odds, I'm gonna try
A million miles away, I feel you with me
For now, our love will live inside my mind, so
[Chorus: Zach & Jack]
Don't wake me up in the middle of the night
'Cause I finally found you
I feel your love every time I close my eyes
'Causе I finally found you
When the times arе hardest, I'll find you in the darkness
You're a dream and that is enough (That is enough), yeah
Don't wake me up in the middle of the night
'Cause I finally found you
Ooh, ooh
Finally found you
Ooh, ooh
Finally found you (Found you)
[Verse 2: Daniel, Corbyn & Both]
Summer days so far away
Only see 'em in the rearview, yeah (Rearview, yeah)
How will I hold you again
To make you feel at home?
[Pre-Chorus: Jonah & Corbyn]
'Cause I don't know if I can make you happy
No matter what the odds, I'm gonna try
A million miles away, I feel you with me (I feel you with me)
For now, our love will live inside my mind, so
[Chorus: Zach, Jack, Zach & Jonah]
Don't wake me up in the middle of the night
'Cause I finally found you (Found you, yeah)
I feel your love every time I close my eyes
'Cause I finally found you
When the times are hardest, I'll find you in the darkness (Ooh)
You're a dream and that is enough (That is enough), yeah
Don't wake me up in the middle of the night
'Cause I finally found you
Ooh, ooh
Finally found you (Yeah, I finally found)
Ooh, ooh
Finally found you (Yeah, I finally found you)
[Outro: Corbyn]
Don't wake me up in the middle of the night
'Cause I finally found you

Jonas Blue:
I’ve been wanting to get a collab going with Why Don’t We since they first hit me up on Twitter back in 2019. These guys have amazing vocals which grabbed me instantly, so I knew we could create something really special together. “Don’t Wake Me Up” has a real depth to the lyrics. If you break it down it’s about finding your true love in your dream. I can’t wait to share it with the world!
Why Don’t We’s Corbyn Besson:
This song started with a late night call from a good friend of mine, Lukas Costas, asking if I’d be down to come over and record scratch vocals on a piano ballad he just wrote. After we finished vocals I showed my bandmates the demo and they loved it. That’s when we got in touch with Jonas. He loved the potential the song had and before we knew it, we had received the first draft of what would become a pop dance banger. Enjoy “Don’t Wake Me Up!”
