Wake Me Up
Okke Punt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make yourself at home
There's a key under the doormat
I'm on the second foor
Wake me up
With your touch
Make my dream come true
Cigarettes and singing
A bottle of red wine
Let's jump into the water
We will be alright
Wake me up
I'll sing your song
Make my dream come true
I want to be with you
You should have never said
We're better off apart
And I know that you care
And you know you were wrong
At least I think so
Wake me up
Make time stop
Because I still believe
In us, in you and me
But if you need
The space to breath
Then let me sleep
Because you're always in my dreams
Hmmm, hmmm
Hmmm, hmmm
