WAKE ME UP
Restless Road Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where it starts
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
And I don't have any plans

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost




I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost

Guided by a beating heart
I am being led by my intuition and emotions


I can't tell where the journey will end

OUTSTANDING, wish they stayed together long enough to make a album.

Amelia Neal

We all wish they would. But Colton is working on a solo. Zach and Andrew are working together and they might not stay restless road forever , so one album they may not be together. Colton made the decision to focus on his studies and have his own career and wished Andrew and Zach nothing but the best. They still speak , and Andrew and Zach have no hard feelings for colton's decision. They all have support from each other.

Brandon

Zach and Andrew are still moving forward, they're still gonna make music
