Woke Up
I.R.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I think
Where are you now
Whats good to worry
No time to hurry
But will the time
Reach you through the speakers
I will admit this last time that we played for keeps yea
And when I come for you
Theres no going back
I wish it was happy like that
Moved on to early
Your face turned blurry
Now there's no going back
I woke up ugly and I didn't feel like me
I haven't slept in months
I barely want to eat
I felt so lonely
I felt so much
But now I feel lucky
I woke up ugly and I didn't feel like me
I haven't slept in months
I barely want to eat
I felt so lonely
I felt so much
But now I feel lucky
Sometimes I try
And realize
Right through the headache
Right through the heartache
We'll find a place
You never want to go back
The sun eclipse and everything will turn black
My curious
Illusion
Right through depression
Right through the lesson
In this lovely
Premonition
I know you'll call is just my wishful intuition
I woke up ugly and I didn't feel like me
I haven't slept in months
I barely want to eat
I felt so lonely
I felt so much
But now I feel lucky
I woke up ugly and I didn't feel like me
I haven't slept in months
I barely want to eat
I felt so lonely
I felt so much
But now I feel lucky
And when it rains
Send me a smiley face
I'll bring a bottle of wine
Something red and dry
And when we go out




Make sure to look at me with those beautiful green eyes
That I lost in the blink of time
