[Verse 1]
Are you awake? I've been thinkin' through some things
Been countin' their babies and their diamond wedding rings
Are you awake? I feel a sadness in my skin

Are you awake? I don't remember when we last spoke
I probably overshared or made some tasteless joke
Are you awake? I miss the streetlights and the smoke
It happens sometimes now
[Chorus]
Please give me a sign
Give mе a Hollywood line
Some feelings don't fade away with spacе and time
It's a state of mind

Are you awake? I miss the texture of your voice
It happens more often now
[Chorus]
Please give me a sign
Give me a Hollywood line
Some feelings don't fade away with space and time
It's a state of mind
It's just a state of mind
[Outro]
Some feelings don't fade away with space and time
It's a state of mind
It's just a state of mind
It's just a state of mind
