Wide Awake
I was a child in my dreams
Everything was taken
from a world forsaken now
Caught up in some other scene
till my mind was shaken
into my salvation now
I can see
Through all your mistery
All I need
Is to break free
I'm wide awake
keeping my eyes on you
I can't escape
chasing the dream of you
On and on and on
I'll never let you go
Tattooed on my arm
You're the only think I know
Oh uh, oh uh, ah
I went to work for the city
Everything was jaded
I could barely make it out
Just 'cause you're young and pretty
Everything I hated
I could only shake it out
I can't sleep
Look what you've done to me
All I need
Is to break free
I'm wide awake
keeping my eyes on you
I can't escape
chasing the dream of you
On and on and on
I'll never let you go
tattooed on my arm
You're the only think I know
Oh uh, oh uh, ah
I can't explain it
I can't explain it
I can't explain it
I'm only breaking down
Please set me free
Set me free
I'm wide awake
keeping my eyes on you
I can't escape
chasing the dream of you
On and on and on
I'll never let you go
tattooed on my arm
You're the only think I know
I'm wide awake
keeping my eyes on you
I can't escape
chasing the dream of you
On and on and on
I'll never let you go
tattooed on my arm
You're the only think I know
Oh uh, oh uh, ah
I'm wide awake
Oh uh, oh uh, ah
I'm wide awake
Everything was taken
from a world forsaken now
Caught up in some other scene
till my mind was shaken
into my salvation now
I can see
Through all your mistery
All I need
Is to break free
I'm wide awake
keeping my eyes on you
I can't escape
chasing the dream of you
On and on and on
I'll never let you go
Tattooed on my arm
You're the only think I know
Oh uh, oh uh, ah
I went to work for the city
Everything was jaded
I could barely make it out
Just 'cause you're young and pretty
Everything I hated
I could only shake it out
I can't sleep
Look what you've done to me
All I need
Is to break free
I'm wide awake
keeping my eyes on you
I can't escape
chasing the dream of you
On and on and on
I'll never let you go
tattooed on my arm
You're the only think I know
Oh uh, oh uh, ah
I can't explain it
I can't explain it
I can't explain it
I'm only breaking down
Please set me free
Set me free
I'm wide awake
keeping my eyes on you
I can't escape
chasing the dream of you
On and on and on
I'll never let you go
tattooed on my arm
You're the only think I know
I'm wide awake
keeping my eyes on you
I can't escape
chasing the dream of you
On and on and on
I'll never let you go
tattooed on my arm
You're the only think I know
Oh uh, oh uh, ah
I'm wide awake
Oh uh, oh uh, ah
I'm wide awake
