Wake Me Back In

V5

[VERSE 1] I’ve been locked behind myself Like I shut the lights off years ago I move through days on borrowed motion But nothing really moves at all There’s a part of me that stayed somewhere I stopped going back to I didn’t know it was still breathing Till it heard you ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] I didn’t feel the floor give way Till you said my name ⸻ [CHORUS] Wake me up Don’t let me stay this way Wake me up I’m slipping if I wait Say it out loud Pull me through I don’t want to disappear Wake me up Before I lose what’s left of me ⸻ [VERSE 2] Now I see what I’ve been missing Now I know what wasn’t there I’ve been existing, not living Just filling up the air You don’t get to walk away now After what you found You breathed something back into me I can feel it now ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS] I didn’t know how far I’d gone Till I felt the sound ⸻ [CHORUS] Wake me up Don’t let me stay this way Wake me up I’m slipping if I wait Say it out loud Pull me through I don’t want to disappear Wake me up Before I lose what’s left of me ⸻ [BRIDGE — short, near-spoken] I wasn’t dead I wasn’t whole I was just numb And calling it control If there’s more than this I want it now I’m not going back I don’t know how ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS] Wake me up I can feel it start Wake me up I don’t want the dark Say it out loud Pull me through I’m standing on the edge again Wake me up And don’t let go ⸻ [OUTRO — resolve, ~6s] I’m still here I’m breathing now
