I'm wide awake
I'm wide awakeI'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrongI'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so longI wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concreteFalling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud nineI'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
Picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, noI'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the endI wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concreteFalling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud nineThunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
But I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awakeFalling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
I'm falling from cloud nineI'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
