Wake Me Up
J-Five Lyrics

Hmm, what a beautiful day
The day is pleasant and appealing

I'm waiting for the sun to save me
The singer is looking forward to a better day

From the love that hates me
The singer is trying to escape a toxic relationship

All the lovely maybes that keep me under
The artist is uncertain and indecisive about their situation

Should've kept my head down
The artist regrets drawing attention to themselves

Out of the spot light
The singer wants to avoid being the center of attention

Lettin' go of what's right
The singer is sacrificing their principles for the sake of others

It's johnny five minutes left
The artist is referring to themselves in the third person, indicating they have limited time

Til he takes the stage
The artist is preparing for a performance or presentation

I'll give him five minutes
The artist is imposing a time limit on themselves

Til he loses face
The singer is afraid of failure

I give up don't you know
The artist is resigned to their circumstances

To live, it means to grow
The singer believes personal development is an essential aspect of life

And I forgot to grow
The singer has neglected their own growth, potentially in favor of others'

Head so far up his ass
The singer is being self-absorbed and not considering others

It stunt his growth
The artist's behavior or attitude is hindering their personal development

Left behind in such a speed
The artist is being rapidly surpassed by others

People pass him by
The singer is being left behind and ignored

And it makes his eyes bleed
The singer is upset and hurt by their lack of progress

So he sleeps
The artist is escaping their problems by avoiding them

Chorus
The artist is looking for a better day and seeking relief from their problems

I guess I'm a hard man to please
The artist is difficult to satisfy.

No, first you wanna kill me
The singer has been threatened or harmed in the past

Now, you wanna kiss me
The artist is experiencing a sudden and unexpected change in their relationship with someone

Blow, I never asked for this
The singer is unhappy with the situation they find themselves in

I took the logical path of progression
The singer has tried to make smart decisions to improve their situation

Trying to score but I always miss
The singer is unsuccessful in achieving their goals

It's a no win situation
The artist is stuck in a situation where they cannot succeed.

What's good for them is dangerous for me
The artist and someone else have conflicting interests

I gotta practice being patient
The singer needs to work on being more patient

Or I can face it
The singer has a choice to make about their situation

I don't have a place
The artist feels lost and out of place

An outcast in an elevator stuck in outer space
The artist feels isolated and disconnected from others

Bridge
The artist is still seeking relief from their problems

The sun is shining
The singer hopes for a brighter future

For God's sake, I'm trying to get some sleep
The artist is frustrated and wants to be left alone

So give me a break and leave
The singer wants to be left alone to deal with their issues

Chorus
The singer is still hopeful for a better day
