Since I Woke Up
The Common Kings Lyrics

I've been wanting you since I woke up, yeah
I have desired your presence and companionship ever since I opened my eyes this morning.

You've been living on my mind
You have been constantly occupying my thoughts and preoccupying my mind.

Since I woke up, yeay
From the moment I woke up, you have been a significant presence in my thoughts and desires.

Ay what's the matter with me, man
Hey, what is the issue or problem afflicting me, my friend?

I've been thinking about what to do
I have been contemplating and considering various actions or decisions.

Like you've put voodoo on me, man
It feels as if you have enchanted or bewitched me with some mystical power.

'Bout to make me break all my rules
You are on the verge of compelling me to disregard and abandon all of my established principles and guidelines.

Like calling you
For instance, reaching out and contacting you through a phone call.

Never call a person more than one time
It is commonly advised not to make repeated calls to the same individual.

How can you?
How is it even possible for me to resist or refrain from doing so?

Never want to let you out of my sight
I constantly desire and strive to keep you within my vision and presence, never wanting to lose sight of you.

It's driving me mad now
This situation is causing me to feel increasingly insane or mentally overwhelmed.

You're such a distraction now
You have become an intense and captivating diversion or interruption in my life.

That's a good problem now i say
Despite the challenges it may pose, I consider it to be a favorable issue or predicament.

Now you left here just a few hours ago
Only a short time has passed since you departed from this place.

And it's crazy but I'm
Although it may seem irrational or illogical, I am

Wanting you some more
Yearning for your presence and longing for more of your companionship.

'Cause you put it down like a professional
Because you possess exceptional skills or expertise in satisfying and fulfilling my desires.

Yeah
An expression of affirmation or agreement.

Like when the sun rise, I rise
Similar to the way the sun ascends in the sky, I too elevate or awaken with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

I need you by my side darling when I wake up
My beloved, I require your presence beside me when I awaken from slumber.

Yeah ever since I woke up
Yes, ever since I opened my eyes this morning

I've been missing you since I woke up up up
I have been experiencing a sense of longing and yearning for you, starting from the moment I woke up.

You've got a whole lot of nerve
You possess a significant amount of audacity or boldness.

Yeah coming round here, turning up
Yes, showing up and making an appearance in this place.

It's like I slept in the gate yard
It feels as though I spent the night sleeping in a crowded and noisy area.

Still sweating, got me burning up, hey
Despite the passage of time, I am still perspiring and feeling overheated, causing intense agitation or excitement.

Already sound down
I previously felt pessimistic or low-spirited.

When I used to be on my balance
During a time when I was emotionally stable and composed.

Turned down, ready for any challenge
I became emotionally deflated and prepared to face any obstacle or difficulty.

Ooeioo woke up, up, up, ooeioo
A repetition of the phrase symbolizing the continuous state of being awake or conscious.
