Wake Up
Witt Lowry Lyrics

I ain't gonna lie these dim lights and this cheap wine got me thinking about you
The singer admits that their surroundings are making them think about the person they are addressing.

When I can't sleep and I can't eat, I can't help but think about you
The singer thinks about the addressee constantly.

Want some real shit, this is real shit, and I spit that so y'all feel this. And I'm reeled in and my heart replaced my dick so fuck my feelings
The singer is being honest and open with their emotions and how they are affecting them.

Damn, here we go some song about a girl, right? Nah just a song about some shit that changed my whole life
The artist is clarifying that the song is not just about a girl, but about something that truly impacted their life.

Let me take you back to those cold nights when my heart was broken in pieces but I'll take the pain and I'll take the hurt cuz that shit happens for a reason
The artist recalls the pain they felt after experiencing heartbreak, but they acknowledge that it happened for a reason.

You wore that pink shirt and those white shorts sitting up on that white porch in a different day, in a different time I might ride up in my white horse
The singer recalls a moment with the addressee and acknowledges that if things were different, they may have approached the situation differently.

But I'm colder now cuz I've been hurt, heart ripped out, dragged through dirt, and I wouldn't let you in. I should've realized that you weren't her
The singer has become more guarded due to being previously hurt and acknowledges that they made a mistake in not realizing that the addressee is a different person from their past hurt.

Now I'm stuck in this world I dug, went from hugs to being in love, my stubborn ass just wouldn't budge so I left you second guessing, guessing about my feelings
The artist realizes they have made mistakes that have caused confusion and frustration for the addressee in regards to their feelings.

Now I'm stuck here writing songs and all these songs are just for healing me
The artist uses music as a way to heal and process their emotions.

But I know tonight we got tonight and this our chance to make it right. Now I think it's time for us to wake up
The artist acknowledges that they have an opportunity to repair their relationship and feels it is time to do so.

See we're too busy getting wasted, tears are all we're tasting. I think it's time for me and you to face it. Girl we need to wake up and grow up, to save us. Because these feelings can't be made up
The singer recognizes that they need to face their problems and be mature in order to save their relationship. Their feelings are real and cannot be faked.

Damn with a smile like that, see girl you could light up a whole room and we started out as friends and only friends cuz it was too soon
The artist is complimenting the addressee's smile and acknowledging that they started off as friends due to timing.

For me to let you in and see if we were only friends Then I wouldn't have to commit and then no hearts get broken again. Right? Wrong. You see our feeling got involved
The singer wishes they had kept things platonic to avoid heartbreak, but acknowledges that their feelings eventually became involved regardless.

No commitment was my call even though I didn't mean it at all. Went from texting everyday til my fingers weak to talking on the phone til we fall asleep to you skipping class to be with me to being introduced to your family
The singer admits that they initially avoided commitment but their relationship with the addressee progressed to them becoming an important part of each other's lives.

Crazy how time flew. I needed that spark, think I found it in you. I'm sorry for everything I didn't do. Everything just happened so out of the blue
The singer has found something special with the addressee and apologizes for not doing more. They are surprised at how quickly it all happened.

Then I got that call from you, my heart broke in two. Because I thought I fucking lost you to some other dude
The artist was devastated to think they had lost the addressee to someone else.

But I know tonight we got tonight and this our chance to make it right. Now I think it's time for us to wake up
The artist believes they have a chance to fix their relationship and feels it is time to do so.

I think I cried for like three days straight. I felt hurt, sick, fucked over, and betrayed
The singer was deeply affected by the recent events and experienced intense emotions as a result.

Wondering why you want him instead of me I think I died inside that night. What the fuck do I say
The singer was hurt and confused as to why the addressee had chosen someone else over them.

But wait she said 'I thought there were no strings attached'. Remember Mark no strings attached is what you said we had. Damn, I guess I didn't think of that
The artist is reminded that they had previously agreed to a no-strings-attached relationship and realizes they had not considered that when developing feelings.

Now we're on the fucking verge of loosing everything we had. And I don't want you to be the one that got away. So I tell you everything sit back and wait. So you know how I feel if you walk away
The artist does not want to lose their relationship with the addressee and is being honest with their feelings in order to prevent that outcome.

You were there when I got this beat that day. I don't know where you'll be when you hear this. I just hope you know it's real. That you'll sit back and you'll feel this
The artist is acknowledging the addressee's support and hopes that they will be able to feel the raw emotion in the song.

But I know tonight we got tonight and this our chance to make it right. Now I think it's time for us to wake up
