Wake Me Up* Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sun is never rising
I don't know if it's day or night
Blacken my horizon
I'm running out of time

[Pre-Chorus]
Are you real, or are you an illusion?
Cause I feel your love's my delusion


[Chorus]
Wake me up, come find me
It feels like I'm dying
Wake me up, these demons
Be creepin', don't fear it
Wake me up
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
It's coming to the wire
I'm feeling like I'm paralyzed
Cleanse me with your fire
Open up my eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Are you real, or are you an illusion?
Cause I feel your love's my delusion
[Chorus]
Wake me up, come find me
It feels like I'm dying
Wake me up, these demons
Be creepin', don't fear it
Wake me up, I'm trying to find my heart
Wake me up, [?]
[?]
Wake me up

[Synth solo]

[Vocalizing]

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 [?]
