[Verse 1: Aloe Blacc]
Feelin' my way through the darkness
Guided by a beatin' heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well, life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well, that's fine by me
[Chorus: Aloe Blacc]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was findin' myself and I
Didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was findin' myself and I
Didn't know I was lost

[Verse 2: Aloe Blacc]
I tried carryin' the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
[Chorus: Aloe Blacc]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was findin' myself and I
Didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was findin' myself and I
I didn't know I was lost
[Bridge: Aloe Blacc]
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
