Wake Me Up
E. Sheeran Lyrics

I should ink my skin
I want to get a tattoo of your name on me

With your name
Specifically, I want to tattoo your name on myself

And take my passport out again
I want to travel the world again with you

And just replace it
I'm willing to go through the trouble of renewing my passport just to go on adventures with you

See I could do without a tan
I don't care about getting a tan

On my left hand, where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
Specifically, I don't care about getting a tan on the part of my hand where a wedding ring would go

And I should run you a hot bath
I want to do nice and thoughtful things for you

And fill it up with bubbles
Specifically, I want to fill the bath with bubbles because it will look nice and make you feel good

'Cause maybe you're lovable
I find you to be a lovable person

And maybe you're my snowflake
I think you're really special to me and unique from anyone else in the world

And your eyes turn from green to gray and in the winter I'll
I notice little things about you, like how your eyes change colors, and I want to be there for you during every season

Hold you in a cold place
I want to support you and comfort you even in tough situations

And you should never cut your hair
I like your long hair and want you to keep it that way

'Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder
I think it's cute when you move your hair out of your face

And you will never know just how beautiful you are to me
I think you're incredibly beautiful, but I'm not sure if you realize it

But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
Maybe I only realize how much I love you in the morning, when I wake up next to you

And would you ever feel guilty
I hope you wouldn't feel bad or ashamed about feeling the same way as me

If you did the same to me
If you fell in love with me too

Would you make me a cup of tea
I hope we could continue to take care of each other and do sweet things for each other

To open my eyes in the right way
To help me wake up and start the day feeling good

And I know you love Shrek
I pay attention to the things you like and care about

'Cause we've watched it twelve times
We've watched Shrek so many times together, and it's become a shared experience for us

But maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale too
Maybe you also hope for a perfect, happy ending in love like a fairy tale

And if your DVD breaks, today
If something goes wrong or gets in the way of our plans today

You shoulda got a VCR
We should be able to adapt and make do with what we have

'Cause I never owned a Blu-Ray
I don't need the newest and fanciest technology to enjoy spending time with you

True say
That's the truth

And now I've always been shit at computer games and your brother always beats me
I'm not good at playing video games, especially compared to your brother

And if I lost, I go all cross
If I lose the game, I get really upset and angry

And chuck all the controllers at the TV
I might even throw things, like the controller, out of frustration

And then you'd laugh at me
But you would still find me endearing and funny, even when I'm acting silly

And be asking me
You would still want to be around me and keep spending time with me, despite my flaws

If I'm gonna be home next week
You'd still want to plan things with me and make sure we continue to see each other

And then you'd lie with me till I fall asleep
You still care about being close and connected to me, and taking care of me

And flutter eyelash on my cheek between the sheets
You still think I'm cute and attractive, despite my flaws and Meltdowns

I think you hate the smell of smoke
I know you don't like the smell of smoke

You always tryna get me to stop
You encourage me to stop smoking because it's not good for my health

But you drink as much as me
You still have your own vices and habits, but that doesn't affect how much you care about me

And I get drunk a lot
My drinking habits aren't the best, but I'm still trying to be better

So I'll take you to the beach
I want to take you to a nice, relaxing place

And walk along the sand
Specifically, I want to walk with you next to the ocean

And I'll make you a heart pendant
I want to make you a special, handmade gift that shows you how much I care about you

With a pebble held in my hand
I'm going to use a small and simple object to make you something special and meaningful

And I'll carve it like a necklace
I want to make something that you can wear and keep close to your heart

So the heart falls where your chest is
I want the necklace to rest over your heart

And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach
I want to give you something that is symbolic of myself and our experiences together

And it falls just where it needs to be
I believe we are meant to be together

And rests peacefully
I hope that this gift brings you a sense of calm and love

So you just need to breathe
I want to remind you to take a moment to relax and de-stress

To feel my heart against yours now
I want you to know that my heart is with yours, even if we aren't physically together

Against yours now
I want to continue to be close to you and take care of you

'Cause maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
I might only realize how much I love and care for you when I wake up next to you in the morning

Or maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
Or maybe I am in love with you at all times, but the morning is a special, intimate moment between us

Maybe I fell in love when you woke me up
Maybe it was the moment of waking up next to you that made me realize just how much I love you
