Wake Up

(album: World I Understand - 2022)

When I wake up will I be okay?
Will tomorrow have a price to pay?
Just on that note, will it be too late?
'Cause I've been here before
It's a nightmare, but I can't resist
Opportunities that can't be missed
I'm afraid of what might have been
If I'd just stayed at home all alone

Now I'm looking up at the sky
And I'm wondering why

I fall for it every time
I was all for an early night
But I don't seem to know
When it's time to go home

When I wake up will I be afraid?
Will I cancel all those plans we made?
It's a shame when your mind's in space
And your phone's somewhere in town
It's a nightmare when it comes to this
But a lad at the jukebox queued up Smiths
So I'll wait just to see if he's got good taste
And queue four of my own and walk it home

Now I'm looking up at the sky
I'm still wondering why

I fall for it every time
I was all for an early night
But I don't seem to know
When it's time to go home
I fall for it every time
The more I drink the less I find
That I'll know when to go
When it's time to go home

Forget the world outside your window
'Cause you won't see the rest of the day
God help me please 'cause I'm in need of someone to bring me from my knees
And I'll make the best of whatever's left of this day
Then promise myself I won't do it again

And fall for it every time
The morning rain clouds in my mind
They just won't fade
Until I learn to walk away

I fall for it every time
I was all for an early night
Still I don't seem to know
When it's time to go home
I fall for it every time
The more I drink the less I find
That I'll know when to go
When it's time to go home
