Don't Wake Me Up
Prinnie Stevens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got my black heels on got my sights locked on you
I'm feeling two feet tall, everytime you look my way
And I don't know what's in this drink but I feel it's starting to take
Leave me in this dream
Don't stop
I just wanna sleep
Forever in your arms
Forever in your arms
Don't wake me up
(Up, Up, Up)
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
(Up, Up, Up)
Just wanna sleep
Forever in your arms
Forever in your arms
Now I know it's getting late but please don't look at the clock
And they're turning up the lights but I don't want it to stop
And all my friends think I'm crazy takin' a stranger home
But I can see it in your eyes that you're someone I want to know
Don't wake me up
Leave me in this dream
Don't stop
I just wanna sleep
Forever in your arms
Forever in your arms
Don't wake me up
Up Up Up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Up Up Up
Just wanna sleep
Forever in your arms
Forever in your arms
Don't wake me up
Up Up Up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Up Up Up
Just wanna sleep
Forever in your arms
Forever in your arms
Don't wake me up
Up Up Up
Up Up Up
Up Up Up
Up Up Up
Don't wake me up
Don't turn on the light
Don't take me home
Don't open my eyes
Don't wake me up
Don't look at the clock
Don't sound the alarm
Don't wanna stop
Don't wake me up
Up Up Up
Don't wake me up
Up Up Up
Just wanna sleep
Forever in your arms
Forever in your arms
Don't wake me up
Up Up Up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Up Up Up
Just wanna sleep
Forever in your arms
Forever in your arms
Don't wake me up
The lyrics of Prinnie Stevens's "Don't Wake Me Up" describe a woman who is at a club and sees someone she is interested in. She is scared to make a move, but she is wearing her best outfit and feels like she is growing in confidence every time he looks her way. She has been drinking, and while she may be tipsy, she doesn't want the night to end. She pleads for the man not to wake her up from this dream, as she feels that she will be forever in his arms.
The song is about being swept up in the moment and taking a chance, even if it feels risky. The singer wishes to stay in this perfect moment for as long as possible, and she doesn't want it to end. The underlying message of the song is about living in the present moment and taking chances, even if it feels risky, because she doesn't want to let something good go.
