Awake
Lovelast Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain't nobody gonna turn me off
From your touch
Ain't nobody gonna break me up
From this love

I'm dreaming of us
But it's not enough
Cause I miss you so much

I'm breathing for two
Can you try to?
Cause I need you to wake up

Ain't nobody gonna steal my eyes
From your gaze
I'll be living in your last twilight
All my days

I'm dreaming of us
But it's not enough
Cause I miss you so much
I'm breathing for two
Can you try too?
Cause I need you to wake up

Cause you were a fool to be brave
When the world's so cruel to the kindest face
But I'm lost, and I'm amazed
I could let you take this love to your grave

I'm dreaming of us
But it's not enough
Cause I miss you so much
I'm breathing for two

Can you try to?
Cause I need you to wake up…
