Wake Me Up
Ed.S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember we were fresh out of school, it was summertime
We were sitting in a group of our friends and it was getting too hard to pretend, yeah
Still, remember when you leaned your body onto mine, we couldn't hide
And they all turned to get a good look, yeah
They were laughing but somehow we knew
We're so close to having something real for the first time
Don't let go of the feeling that you had on the first night
And the magnificent!
Couldn't wake me up
Couldn't wake me up
Couldn't wake me up
Couldn't wake me up
I don't mind if it's late at night and I'm on your mind
You can say goodnight, but if you change your mind, couldn't wake me up
I remember the first time we were alone in your room, just us two
We were free from all of the pressure
You threw off all the things on your dresser
I remembered every moment that I stood waiting for you to make a move
Now it's like we're finally starting
Sunshine, can you feel it now
We're so close to having something real for the first time
Don't let go of the feeling that you had on the first night
And the magnificent!
Couldn't wake me up
Couldn't wake me up
Couldn't wake me up
Couldn't wake me up




I don't mind if it's late at night and I'm on your mind
You can say goodnight, but if you change your mind, couldn't wake me up

Line by Line Meaning

I should ink my skin
I want to permanently mark my body with your name


And take my passport out again And just replace it
I'm willing to leave everything behind and travel with you


See I could do without a tan On my left hand, where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
I don't need the sun to shine on the finger where a wedding band should be


And I should run you a hot bath And fill it up with bubbles
I want to pamper you and make you feel special


'Cause maybe you're lovable And maybe you're my snowflake And your eyes turn from green to gray and in the winter I'll Hold you in a cold place
I think you're unique and special, and I want to keep you warm in the winter


And you should never cut your hair 'Cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder
I appreciate the small things about you, like the way you move your hair


And you will never know just how beautiful you are to me But maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
You have no idea how much I care for you, but I know I'm in love when I'm with you


And would you ever feel guilty If you did the same to me Would you make me a cup of tea To open my eyes in the right way
I wonder if you would treat me the way I treat you, with little things that show you care


And I know you love Shrek 'Cause we've watched it twelve times But maybe you're hoping for a fairy tale too And if your DVD breaks, today You shoulda got a VCR 'Cause I never owned a Blu-Ray True say
We have our favorite things we love to share, and sometimes I'm a bit behind on technology


And now I've always been s*** at computer games and your brother always beats me And if I lost, I go all cross And chuck all the controllers at the TV And then you'd laugh at me
I'm not good at everything, but I try my best, even if I get angry and you find it funny


If I'm gonna be home next week And then you'd lie with me till I fall asleep And flutter eyelash on my cheek between the sheets
You want to know if we'll be together soon, and we always fall asleep cuddling


I think you hate the smell of smoke You always tryna get me to stop But you drink as much as me And I get drunk a lot
We have our differences, but we still love each other, even when we're not perfect


So I'll take you to the beach And walk along the sand And I'll Make you a heart pendant With a pebble held in my hand
I want to create something special for you and show you how much I care


And I'll carve it like a necklace So the heart falls where your chest is And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach and it falls just where it needs to be And rests peacefully
This gift is a symbol of the bond we share, and it will always be close to your heart


So you just need to breathe To feel my heart against yours now Against yours now 'Cause maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
All you need to do is be with me, and we'll feel the love we have for each other


Or maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up Maybe I fell in love when you woke me up
Maybe it's the way you wake me up that makes me realize how much I love you
