lyrics

I JUST WANNA WAKE UP

Sometimes I chase shadows and life is an empty hand
Sometimes I wanna drown myself or hide my head in the sand
I struggled all my life for what I think I need
But happiness eludes me with every pointless deed

Sometimes I think money or sex is what’s gonna set me free
Sometimes I can’t tell the difference between real life and TV
Sometimes I drink so deep, so deep of my daily fear
When I look into the mirror, I swear I’m hardly even there

But I still have hope that someday
Someone else’s beauty
Will turn and see me there, see that I, I need air
And feel beyond their duty

For the last time in my life
Beyond each hope, beyond each vow,
She will reach out and hold me
While I’m still here and it’s still now
While I’m still here and it’s still now

Some people think I’m crazy, some people turn away
Some people just don’t wanna hear it but I’m gonna sing it anyway
I just want to wake up.
I just want to wake up.
I just want to wake up.
