Wide Awake

Lyrics & Music by Steven Jackson & Brighter Things

On one hand I can count the times I been so afraid, I been so alive
so alive, so alive - on one hand I can count the times
You were sleeping soundly I dreamed the way I do - after too much wine or not enough of you
I was so afraid that our time had come - where was your love where was the sun
I was so afraid you were far away - I'm born again, I'm born again, I'm born again today

Oh, I was dreaming and just lifted up my eyes and started seeing
Oh, there's nothing more beautiful than staring at the ceiling
wide awake, in the blooming of the day after I dreamed you were the one
I dreamed you were the one - who got away
but baby here you lay - wide awake

And I walked around on shaky legs - like a war-torn soldier like a newborn man
newborn man, newborn man - I walked around the bedroom with my shaky legs
You were sleeping soundly, I layed beside of you - after enough time to know it wasn't true
I was so afraid that our time had come then I touched your face and I saw the sun
I was so afraid you were far away - I'm born again, I'm born again, I'm born again today

Oh, I was dreaming and just lifted up my eyes and started seeing
Oh, there's nothing more beautiful than staring at the ceiling
wide awake, in the blooming of the day after I dreamed you were the one
I dreamed you were the one - who got away
but baby here you lay -.......

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
There's so, so little time to be alive
in the mornin' - when you swore it would be storming but it shines, shines, shines

Oh, I was dreaming and just lifted up my eyes and started seeing
Oh, there's nothing more beautiful than staring at the ceiling
wide awake, in the blooming of the day after I dreamed you were the one
I dreamed you were the one - who got away
but baby here you lay -.......
