Wide Awake (Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection 2012)
I’m wide awake Yeah, I was in the dark I was falling hard With an open heart I’m wide awake How did I read the stars so wrong
I’m wide awake And now it’s clear to me That everything you see Ain’t always what it seems I’m wide awake Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
(Pre-Chorus) I wish I knew then What I know now Wouldn’t dive in Wouldn’t bow down Gravity hurts You made it so sweet Till I woke up on On the concrete
(Chorus)
Falling from cloud 9 Crashing from the high I’m letting go tonight (Yeah I’m) Falling from cloud 9
I’m wide awake Not losing any sleep Picked up every piece And landed on my feet I’m wide awake Need nothing to complete myself - nooohooo
I’m wide awake Yeah, I am born again Outta the lion’s den I don’t have to pretend And it’s too late The story’s over now, the end - yeah
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Thunder rumbling Castles crumbling I am trying to hold on God knows that I tried Seeing the bright side But I’m not blind anymore…’cause I’m… wide awake
(Chorus) (Oh now I’m) Falling from cloud 9 It was outta the blue, I’m Crashing from the high (Yeah) I’m letting go tonight Letting go of illusion (Now I’m) Falling from cloud 9
