Wake Up
Holy Now Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me fall asleep,
I am trying, I am trying,
Let me find a space,
I am dying, I think I'm dying,
And tell me something else,
I haven't heard before,
You know I heard it all,
And? where my heart belongs,
You know I don't belong.

I'm gonna break it apart,
I'm gonna be some up at night
I'm gonna turn it around and try some things and hide,
Cause my heart is a shell,
Dont let anything ever ever fill it up,
So let me breathe again,
I am trying, I am trying,
Let me get a space I am dying,
I think I'm dying,
And tell me something new,
I can relate to,
I always wanted to,
And real me back again,
To where my heart belongs,
You know I dont belong.

Falling slowly, wake up every time
Falling slowly, wake up every time
Falling slowly, wake up every time




Falling slowly, wake up every time
Falling slowly, wake up every, wake up every time.
