Lyrics

Not Ready to Wake Up

[Verse 1]

Something new, honeymoon

We wake up when the sun goes down

With you, I've got no doubt

Lay by me, breathe in you

Oxygen is overrated

So elevated

[Pre-Chorus]

There’s no need to try

Give a little time

Never close your eyes

Stay in paradise with me

[Chorus]

Not ready to wake up (When real life feels like dreaming)

Not ready to wake up (When your arms feel like freedom)

Don't bring the shades up (Let's keep tonight from leaving)

I’ve got all that I need, and it's right here with me

[Post-Chorus]

So many emotions

So many emotions

[Verse 2]

When I'm with you, it's a mood

I can't control it, I'm rolling

Like waves in the ocean

When you pull me close, I just know

Don't need no medication

You're my salvation

[Pre-Chorus]

There’s no need to try

Give a little time

Never close your eyes

Stay in paradise with me

[Chorus]

Not ready to wake up (When real life feels like dreaming)

Not ready to wake up (When your arms feel like freedom)

Don’t bring the shades up (Let's keep tonight from leaving)

I’ve got all that I need, and it's right here with me

[Post-Chorus]

So many emotions

So many emotions

[Bridge]

And I know that I know that I know that I know that I want it

And I know that I know that I know that I know that I got it

And I know that I know that I know that I know that I want it

And I know that I know that I know that I know that I got it

And I know that I know that I know that I know that I want it

So good that I can't explain it

And I know that I know that I know that I know that I got it

Can't tend to my situation

And I know that I know that I know that I know that I want it

[Chorus]

Not ready to wake up (When real life feels like dreaming)

Not ready to wake up (When your arms feel like freedom)

Don’t bring the shades up (Let's keep tonight from leaving)

I've got all that I need and it's right here with me

[Outro]

So good that I can't explain it

And I know that I know that I know that I know that I want it

So good that I can't explain it

And I know that I know that I know that I know that I want it
