Ring me Up
Jessica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well, life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well, that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost
Yeah, I didn't know I was lost
Yeah, I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older




All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

louis: so i can never be around a woman outside of work?
jessica: that’s not what i’m saying. that would be crazy. all i am saying is if you’re going to hang out with a woman, it has to be when the sun is up. and she can’t be taller than me or younger than me or weigh less than me or look like she weighs less than me.
also, you can’t share food. okay, i guess if you’re stranded and you have to share food then clear soups and broths only! and you will display your wedding band close to your face at all times. photos of your children must be present if they themselves cannot be.
if she happens to touch you, even by accident, you will excuse yourself and call me immediately!
if she has smokey eye makeup, that is bad. if she has a lazy eye, that is good.
louis: jessica
jessica: you must always travel in separate vehicles. going back, lazy eye is out. it encourages eye contact. and she must never ever been or ever wanted to be a gymnast.
oh and this goes without saying but no denzel movies.

love her.
Edit: I wrote this for myself lol so I can’t recite it one day
