Wake Up lyrics
by Fleurie
[Chorus]
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
If you'd open your eyes, then maybe you'd see what's at stake
You're sleeping, you're sleeping
[Verse 1]
You make a lot of money, and you live in a mansion, and pretty much got everything that you could ever imagine
But you feel like, even though you got everything in the world, you got nothing, so what you do then? You just start going backwards
You run in a direction and you're looking for something that isn't real, and all you know is that you just gotta have it
What you're doing is sleeping and thinking that you're awake and you're not, and the problem is that you don't know what you're after
So you put everything that you have into what you do hoping that one day maybe you don't have to feel like you're empty
But as you get older, a lot of weight on your shoulders is getting heavy, then you look back and you start to regret things
You only get one life, and every time you looking at yours, you feel like everything you have is a waste
And the problem and the reason you could never fill a hole in your life is because you were never awake
[Chorus]
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
[Refrain]
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
[Verse 2]
You wake up in the morning but feel like you never got up and go to work, and you feelin' like you ain't got a purpose
And you tryna get motivated, but everything you do turns into a mess, like you ain't nothing but worthless
And, yo, you look around, a lot of these other people you looking at, to you, you describe as perfect
So you point a finger at God and tell Him to do His job and fix your life up 'cause nothing is working (Wake up)
And you will try to hide it and make it seem like it's nothing, but really you feel like everything is crashing around you
And you developed a problem in trusting in other people which later became an issue that would mentally pound you
You only get one life, but every time you looking at yours, you feel like all you ever see are mistakes
And the problem and the reason you could never move forward in life is because you were never awake, wake up
[Chorus]
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
[Refrain]
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
[Chorus]
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape (Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake (Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
