Shake Me (Awake)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When bliss can't be found
I stumble around
In a daze without a destination
If you wanna go, now honey honey
Save me a seat
'Cause I know I'd find relief
Oh, if I could just suspend my disbelief
Oh! I got low for a minute
Just thinking about the places I don't go when I'm stuck in the race
Oh! I gotta let go of tomorrow
'Cause I never would've missed today
Come and shake me awake (shake, shake me awake)
And pull me far away (so far away)
From the endless circles I've been running in
I've had about all I can take (so take, take, take me away)
So take me far away (so far, far away)
To a life that's far less ordinary
Before I'm in the mortuary
If day becomes dusk
Don't let that stop us
On our way to something more uncertain
Cuz when we arrive, oh honey honey
Wherever we're goin'
We may never want to leave
So just stay a while with me
Come and shake me awake (shake, shake me awake)
Pull me far away (so far away)
From the endless circles I've been running in
I've had about all I can take (so take, take, take me away)
So take me far away (so far, far away)
To a life that's far less ordinary
How did I get so obsessed with time?
When there's no way I could know
How long I'll be before my time
So you and I should carve a little out before I go
Maybe attend more matinees
Spend more time at the park
Be less concerned with what the haters say
Cuz they're just haters (they're just haters anyway)
Oh! I got oh for a minute
To think about the places I don't go when I'm stuck in the race
Oh! I gotta let go of tomorrow
Or I never would've
Never would've
Never would've
Never would've
Never would've
Missed today
Come and shake me awake (shake, shake me awake)
Pull me far away (so far away)
From the endless circles I've been running in
I've had about all I can take (so take, take, take me away)
So take me far away (so far, far away)
To a life that's far less ordinary
Before I'm in the mortuary
