Wake me up when you have something to say
Something more than “I’ll see you another day”
And, ooh, you’re restless and I see right through
All the things I’m directing to you
You’re coming up but you’re still nowhere near
You leave to greet me but I’m already here
And, ooh, I’m lost without the sound of your voice
But I sometimes perceive as noise
Chorus:
We’ll only make it once the sun begins to rise
I’m mourning the evening because I can no longer look into your eyes
I heard you’re going away somewhere very far
And I guess I’ll lose you before I know who you are
And, ooh, we’re not done and I know you’re aware
So just wait for me and I’ll meet you there
Chorus:
We’ll only make it once the sun begins to rise
I’m mourning the evening because I can no longer look into your eyes
If we started over I still wouldn’t know what to do
It’s hard to get you when I can’t even get to you
And, ooh, I’m not over being confused and dazed
But we need to get out of this place
And I want to miss you but you’re always around
And I want to kiss you but I’m far from the ground
And I want to acquire your full state of mind
But it’s not what we both can define
I want to acquire your full state of mind
But it’s not what we both can define
