Wide Awake
the p.o.p Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My baby loves to hold me in his arms and gently touch my face
As we lie there close together late at night
In our own special place
It's like I'm driftin' off to heaven when he does that thing that only he
Can do
He moves his lips in little ways that let me know he's in heaven too

He's sorin again and I'm wide awake
It's like a nascar race bein run on his face
And the bed starts to tremble and shake
I try to roll him over I kick him with my feet
Hell I gotta wake him up so I can get sleep
For a moment he's quiet and then
He's snorin' again

In the morning he wakes up so happy
Lookin' all refreshed
While I count the lines and the dark circles
Cause I aint had no rest
Ohh the day seems to drag along and I can't wait to get myself in bed
But soon that old familiar sound
Comes crashin' in my head

He's snorin' again and I'm wide awake
It's like an old buzz saw tearin' up the walls
And I've had more than I can take
I'm glad to hear he's breathin'
I know he needs his rest but that snortin'and that wheezin
Sure puts me to the test
Gonna make him go sleep in the den
He's snorin' again

He sleeps just like a baby but he sounds just like a tank




He knows that I adore him but when he gets to snorin'
I have to grab his hair and yank

Overall Meaning

In "Wide Awake SS" by the P.O.P.'s, the lyrics describe a common dilemma for many couples - the struggle of one partner dealing with the loud snoring of the other partner. The song showcases the contrast between the love and closeness one feels during intimate moments versus the frustration and lack of sleep caused by snoring. The verses paint a picture of tenderness, with the singer describing the way her partner holds her, touches her face, and moves his lips in ways that let her know he's in heaven too. However, during the chorus, the tone changes as the singer is awakened by her partner's loud snoring. She compares the sound to a NASCAR race or an old buzz saw tearing up the walls. She tries to push or kick him to get him to stop snoring, but he quickly falls back to sleep and starts snoring again, leaving her wide awake and frustrated. The song ends with the singer suggesting that her partner sleep in the den to deal with his snoring.


The lyrics are relatable, and many people identify with the scenario depicted in the song. Snoring is a common problem faced by couples, and it can cause significant sleep disruption, leading to daytime sleepiness, poor concentration, and other health issues. The song's descriptive language offers a humorous take on a frustrating situation, and the playful tone doesn't take away from the impact of the message.

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake

Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart (I'm wide awake)
How did I read the stars so wrong?
(I'm wide awake)

And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems (I'm wide awake)
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

I wish I knew then, what I know now
Wouldn't dive in, wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on, on the concrete

Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet (I'm wide awake)
Need nothing to complete myself, no (I'm wide awake)

Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend (And it's too late)
The story's over now, the end

I wish I knew then, what I know now
Wouldn't dive in, wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet
'Til I woke up on, on the concrete

Falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm)
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm)
I'm falling from cloud nine (I'm wide awake)

Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling (I'm wide awake)
I am trying to hold on (I'm wide awake)
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side (I'm wide awake)
I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide awake

I'm wide awake

Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm)
Crashing from the high
You know, I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm)
I'm falling from cloud nine

I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm wide awake
