“Wake Up” is Chelsea Cutler’s sophomore single that jump-started her career. The song is about wanting to wake up, enjoy every day, and live life to the fullest. The song at first might lean toward a relationship theme, but is instead used metaphorically to portray the actual theme.
The theme conne...
[Verse 1]
Wake up cause the evening's running
Away from the hands of the youth
Hold fast cause the daylights coming
It'll hit when it dawns on you
Take it if it's yours to take
Go sleep in the bed that you made
I know its never been easy
To say what you never could say
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll wait so long
Don't wait so long
[Chorus]
I've been counting all the passing days
You keep hiding in the back room
It's taken awhile to find you, covered in blue
Hey, been watching as you walk away
From all you leave in the past
I never thought I could save you
Even if it's the last thing I do
[Verse 2]
Move on cause the world is moving
Along right in front of you
If you don't stop for awhile
You might miss a perfect view
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll wait so long
Don't wait so long
[Chorus]
I've been counting all the passing days
You keep hiding in the back room
It's taken awhile to find you, covered in blue
Hey, been watching as you walk away
From all you leave in the past
I never thought I could save you
Even if it's the last thing I do
[Bridge]
I won't stop and go and let another day unfold
I miss the feeling that you get when you can have it all
I won't stop and go and let another day unfold
I miss the feeling that you get when you can have it all
[Chorus]
I've been counting all the passing days
You keep hiding in the back room
Its taken awhile to find you, covered in blue
I've been counting all the passing days
You keep hiding in the back room
It's taken awhile to find you, covered in blue
Hey, been watching as you walk away
From all you leave in the past
I never thought I could save you
Even if it's the last thing I do

I just wanted to pour happiness into the song. I wrote ‘Wake Up’ about how it’s so important to take each day as it is and to not be afraid to live life to the fullest, as cliché as it sounds. Writing the song gave me a sense of comfort, as if suddenly everything was going to be okay, and I really w...
