Lyrics

Waking Up

Every day was the same, so predictable
Yeah, I wanted something new
It was you, yeah, it was you
I'd seen you 'round and I found that you seemed alright
But I never made the move (Ooh)
And I knew, yeah, then I knew

Hey, hey
Oh, I hesitate
'Cause I've never felt like this before and
Hey, hey
Pieces fall in place

I tell myself to breathe
This is not a dream
Close my eyes and finally
I guess finally
Oh, you made it real for me
You are not a dream

Now every day is the same in a different way
Something changed my point of view
It was you, yeah, it was you
And now the sound of my alarm is my favorite song
When I wake up next to you (Ooh)
Yeah, it's true, oh yeah, it's true

Hey, hey
Oh, I hesitate
'Cause I've never felt like this before and
Hey, hey
Pieces fall in place

I tell myself to breathe
This is not a dream
Close my eyes and finally
I guess finally
Oh, you made it real for me
You are not a dream
Close my eyes and finally
I guess finally
Oh, you made it real for me
You are not a dream

Waking up is never easy
Half asleep and fully dreaming
Waking up is never easy
But I'd wake up for this feeling
Waking up is never easy
Half asleep and fully dreaming
Waking up is never easy
But I'd wake up for this feeling
