Wideawake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm unsettled am I getting nowhere
I′m just looking for the other side of love
Caught in the moment and it's not right,
A lazy day and a hot summer night
Still looking for the other side of love
It's like sunshine and rain,
Ii want to go
So won′t you take me there
I got my reasons but you know they're wrong,
I got faith but you know it′s not so strong
I'm just looking for the other side of love
Caught up in the emotion or so they say,
I′m giving you my heart and watch you give it back oneday
Still looking for some other kind of love
It's like sunshine and rain,
It′s that good kind of pain,
I want to go
So won't you take me there
It's been the longest day
And I feel so far away,
I want to go
So won′t you take me there
I wanna go
I wanna go
So won′t you take me there
Cause it's been the longest day
And I feel so far away
I want to go
So won′t you take me there
Back to the innocence I once knew,
To the innocence when I found you
I want to go, I want to go, I want to go
So won't you take me there
Take me to the other side
It′s like sunshine and rain
It's that good kind of pain
I want to go
So won′t you take me there
It's been the longest day
And I feel so far away
I want to go
So won't you take me there
I wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna go
So won′t you take me there
To the otherside
Take me to the otherside
Take me to the otherside
So won′t you take me there
Take me there
