Wide Awake
A.W.O. Lyrics

My baby loves to hold me in his arms and gently touch my face
The singer's significant other shows affection by holding and touching her, bringing her comfort and security.

As we lie there close together late at night
The couple enjoys intimacy and closeness during nighttime moments that bring them together.

In our own special place
The singer and her partner have a physical and emotional space that is unique to their relationship, and they cherish it.

It's like I'm driftin' off to heaven when he does that thing that only he Can do
The artist finds joy and happiness in her partner's idiosyncrasies, and they make her feel euphoric.

He moves his lips in little ways that let me know he's in heaven too
The artist's partner expresses his own contentment in their shared moments, bringing them even closer together.

He's snorin again and I'm wide awake
The singer's partner is snoring, causing her to be unable to sleep despite the lateness of the hour.

It's like a nascar race bein run on his face
The partner's snoring is so loud and disruptive that it sounds like a race car zooming by.

And the bed starts to tremble and shake
The force of the partner's snoring is strong enough to physically shake the bed and make it difficult for the artist to stay comfortable.

I try to roll him over I kick him with my feet Hell I gotta wake him up so I can get sleep
The artist attempts to stop the snoring by physically moving or nudging her partner to different sleeping positions, but to no avail; she needs to wake him up in order to get some rest herself.

For a moment he's quiet and then He's snorin' again
The artist's attempts to stop the snoring are only temporary, and before long her partner starts snoring again.

In the morning he wakes up so happy Lookin' all refreshed
Despite the partner's snoring, he is able to wake up in a good mood and feeling renewed, while the singer is left feeling tired and unrested.

While I count the lines and the dark circles Cause I aint had no rest
The artist is left to deal with the physical consequences of a lack of sleep, which includes lines and dark circles under her eyes.

Ohh the day seems to drag along and I can't wait to get myself in bed But soon that old familiar sound Comes crashin' in my head
The singer spends the day feeling tired and looking forward to getting some rest when she finally gets home, but the thought of her partner's snoring looming over her ruins that hope.

It's like an old buzz saw tearin' up the walls
The partner's snoring is so loud that it sounds like a buzzing or grinding machinery tearing up the environment around them.

And I've had more than I can take
The singer has reached her limit with the partner's snoring and can no longer tolerate it without taking drastic action.

I'm glad to hear he's breathin' I know he needs his rest but that snortin'and that wheezin Sure puts me to the test
The artist is relieved her partner is breathing and getting his rest, but the noise of his snoring is difficult for her to handle and tests her patience.

Gonna make him go sleep in the den He's snorin' again
The artist is at the point of making her partner sleep elsewhere in the house due to the disruption his snoring is causing in their shared sleeping space.
