Wake Up!
Kid Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up on a toilet
Wake up at a shopping mall
Wake up at the street side
Looking for a street sign
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up on a staircase
Wake up in a van
Wake up on a rooftop
Wake up in Japan
Wake up
Wake up
How'd I get to Japan?

I woke up with a head pounding like a jackhammer
Drinking at the club is the last thing I remember
Missed calls and a drunk text to my ex
Asking if she want lunch but it's all about the sex
Still got my phone and wallet that will be enough
Sometimes I feel like my life is just a movie but
Playing to my eyes in the cinema widescreen
Digital I think you get the picture

One of these days
We may wake up to ourselves
One of these days
We might have some kids and settle down
One of these days
We might fly around the world
I'm the drug in my veins and it just can't be helped

Wake up in an elevator
Wake up in the club
Wake up in a trashcan
Woken by the trashman
Wake up
Wake up, ha
Wake up at the station
Wake up in the train
Wake up on the freeway
I feel a little drunk
Wake up
Wake up

Looking around and I don't know what I'm doing here
Nothing's real familiar my head just ain't clear
Wandering around and I'm feeling little hungry
Stumbling to the ground cuz I'm still a little tipsy
Promising myself that it's all gonna change
You know how it is in the mornings when you're thinking strange
It'll be the same thing just on another weekend
Molly in the hands of my fucked up friends

One of these days
We might buy a house in the suburbs
One of these days
We might live up to the promises we made
To ourselves so we can turn it all around
I'm the drug in my veins and it just can't be helped

Promise to myself that this will be the last time
Getting fucked up for the sake of it
Regretting it all for the sake of it
Tomorrow I'll be planning for the next time
Getting fucked up for the sake of it
Regretting it all for the sake of it

Wake up in a Camry
Dying in the backseat
Had too much belvedere
Don't know how I got here
Wake up, oh shit
Wake up, here we go again
Wake up on a sofa
Corner of the parking lot
Pissed stained couch
Laying there since December
Wake up
