WAKE ME UP
Boyce Avenue & Jennel Garcia Lyrics

Feeling my way through the darkness
I am trying to make my way through a hard time in my life, even though I can’t see where I am going

Guided by a beating heart
Out of instinct, I am following my heart to lead me towards where I need to be

I can't tell where the journey will end
I don’t know what the outcome will be after I go through this difficult time in my life

But I know where to start
I know the first step I must take and what I need to focus on in order to move forward

They tell me I'm too young to understand
There are people who believe that I may not have enough life experience to make good decisions

They say I'm caught up in a dream
People think that I am living in a fantasy world and not facing reality

Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
If I don’t take the opportunity to seize the moment and live in the present, I may miss out on important experiences

Well, that's fine by me
But if I do miss out on something, it's okay because I am willing to face the consequences and accept them

So wake me up when it's all over
If I get lost and can't find my way, I am asking to be guided back to the right path by someone else

When I'm wiser and I'm older
I hope to gain more knowledge and insight as I grow older and gain more life experience

All this time I was finding myself
Throughout this difficult time, I was learning more about who I am and what makes me happy

And I didn't know I was lost
I didn’t realize that I was struggling until I started to take steps to find my way

I tried carrying the weight of the world
I attempted to handle all of the burdens and obstacles of life on my own

But I only have two hands
I am limited in what I am capable of doing, and need help from others to overcome challenges

I hope I get the chance to travel the world
I have many aspirations and dreams for the future, such as traveling and seeing all that the world has to offer

But I don't have any plans
I may not know exactly how to achieve my goals, but I am open to opportunities that come my way

I wish that I could stay forever this young
I sometimes wish I could stay in this moment in time, where I still have hope and optimism for the future

Not afraid to close my eyes
I am not scared to embrace the unknown and to embrace the outcomes of my decisions

Life's a game made for everyone
Everyone has the ability to experience life, and that life is similar to a game where everyone is in the same playing field

And love is the prize
The reward for going through life’s challenges is the love that we experience from ourselves and others

I didn't know I was lost
I didn’t realize that I was struggling until I started to take steps to find my way

I didn't know I was lost
I didn’t realize that I was struggling until I started to take steps to find my way

Feeling my way through the darkness
I am trying to make my way through a hard time in my life, even though I can’t see where I am going

Guided by a beating heart
Out of instinct, I am following my heart to lead me towards where I need to be

I can't tell where the journey will end
I don’t know what the outcome will be after I go through this difficult time in my life

But I know where to start
I know the first step I must take and what I need to focus on in order to move forward
