This song compares literal awakening on a Christmas morning to a spiritual awakening, the ability to see the world around us the way it truly is. And this ability doesn’t come on its own, but is awakened in the protagonist by his significant other’s love.
Woke up in a city that doesn't sleep
Full of rain
You woke me up
Woke up in a city down by the sea
Like a dream
You woke me up
I woke up in a city full of snow
And history and beauty and Christmas-lights and cold
With angels that come when all is lost
In golden light at dead of night
They take you home
And I woke up
I woke up
Woke up in a city that doesn't sleep
You woke me up, You woke me up, You woke me up
And I woke up in a city by the sea
You woke me up, You woke me up, You woke me up
You woke me up
I woke up in a city full of rain
The world had stopped
I woke up to feel no pain
Day from night
Anti-gravity and light
It's so clear, just what I'm doing here
The blinding obvious is what you showed to me
