When I Wake Up

Take a ride, you're going nowhere, going nowhere fast
Need a little something special, it's not meant to last
Pulling over to a place that might have what you need
A chance encounter, a darkened corner, dark eyes you can read

Wake up feeling sick and tired and angry with yourself
Take the memory of the night and put it on a shelf

I don't need someone to hold me down
I don't need someone to be around
When you

Stumble through your working hours numb to all you hear
Shaking, crying, hope that no one sees a trace of tears
Finally the day is over, slip into your sleep
You're craving something but you're going nowhere,
You surrender to the street

I don't need someone to hold me down
I don't need someone to be around
I don't need someone to hold me down
I don't need someone to be around
When I wake up

Take a ride, you're going nowhere, you're going nowhere fast
You need a little something special, but you know it ain't gonna last
Find the strength to pull together a front to hide the truth
A mask of smiles and hollow laughter that no one can see through

I don't need someone to hold me down
I don't need someone to be around
I don't need someone to hold me down
I don't need someone to be around
When I Wake Up
When I Wake Up
Ohhh
