Wide Awake Songtext
von Idris Elba

She says I′ve been working way too hard
She says love's a thing you′ve left abroad
I say someday I will get there
She says that day I might not be there
When the sun goes down I don't see you
I see someone who used to be you
Do you really want to go back there?
Does the darkness really compare
To this home and a bed
Hope isn't there
But I′m holding my head up
Always depressed
And this hole that you left is always a test
Stop all the fighting
Reminding my darling that.


I′m wide awake when you sleep
I'm wide awake when you
I′m wide awake when you sleep
If I ain't fighting then somebody′s dying
I'm wide awake when you sleep
I′m wide awake when you
I'm wide awake when you sleep

If I ain't fighting then somebody′s dying

She said, "whose blood is that on your hands"?
No one here wears this lipstick brand
I said, let′s take a break and relax
She said if I go, then I won't come back cause
When the sun goes down I don′t see you
I see someone who used to be you
Do you really want to go back there?
Does the darkness really compare
To this home and a bed
Hope isn't there
But I′m holding my head up
Always depressed
And this hole that you left is always a test

Stop all the fighting
Reminding my darling that


I'm wide awake when you sleep
I′m wide awake when you
I'm wide awake when you sleep
If I ain't fighting then somebody′s dying
I′m wide awake when you sleep
I'm wide awake when you
I′m wide awake when you sleep
If I ain't fighting then somebody′s dying
