“When I Wake Up” is a declaration that tomorrow will be a better day. That anguish you feel one night due to a break up will be over tomorrow and you will be better for it.
[Intro]
Too much on my mind
Too much on my mind
Too much on my mind
Too much on my...
[Verse 1]
Here I am thinking again
All lost in my brain
But I know I should get up and get out of bed
I gotta keep moving
But here I am lost all up inside my brain
Can't stop thinking, reminiscing
Can't stop, can't let go
[Chorus 1]
But when I wake up
And one day I will do it, yea yea yea
I have let you go
And everything I went through was beautiful
I have let you go
And everything I went through was beautiful
[Verse 2]
Maybe I, right now, can't see the forest for the trees
So lost behind hurt
But I'm trying everyday exponentially to move forward
Ooh do you know how it feels to be lost?
[Chorus 2]
But when I wake up
Everything I went through would be beautiful
When I wake up
And I will wake up
It's gonna be beautiful
[Bridge]
Down to to my left side (last cry)
Feeling I could fly
All day, up high
Sweeter than the sugar on a cinnamon treat
Or an ice cream
That was me
But I'm feeling like I'm in a nightmare
Fear of loving somebody everywhere
Oh Lord I need this confirmation
This affirmation
[Chorus 3]
That when I wake up
When I wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful
When I wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful
[Outro]
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Everything I went through will be beautiful
