Stay Awake
Nightcore: Madeon feat. Ellie Goulding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something is calling us, we're breaking free
I'm curious, I need to see
Like a flash before our eyes, rolling to the night
And if it feels like you're dreaming
Believe it, believe it
The sun will never go down
And we'll be this way forever
I guarantee you that
Just stay awake, stay awake
You can feel it just the way it goes
Just stay awake, stay awake
Bring me down, side by side
While our reflections pick up all this collide
So full of energy, nothing to hide
No need to sleep, we come alive
And if we're gonna take this right
We can go wherever we like
And if it feels like you're dreaming
Believe it, believe it
We'll have to wait to the morning
The sun will never go down
And we'll be this way forever
I guarantee you that
Just stay awake, stay awake
You can feel it just the way it goes
Just stay awake, stay awake
Believe it
Take my faith in your hands, we have a lot that hasn't near begun
Something is calling us, we're breaking free
I'm curious, I need to see
Our dreams was lower than this
I flash before our dreams
Like a flash before our eyes, running through the night
And if it feels like you're dreaming
Believe it, believe it
We'll have to wait to the morning
The sun will never go down
And we'll be this way forever
I guarantee you that
Just stay awake, stay awake
You can feel it just the way it goes
Just stay awake, stay awake
