Lyrics
Wake me up, I've been dreaming
Expresses a desire to be awakened from a dreamlike state.
It feels just like any other, day
The day feels ordinary or unremarkable.
I sit you down, here goes nothing
The speaker prepares to have a serious conversation or confrontation.
And you're not gonna like what I say
Anticipation that the listener won't react positively to what's about to be said.
And get out, oh, just get out
Urges the listener to leave the situation.
Get up, get out, that's what you said
Recalling past advice or command to leave.
You drive me crazy
Expresses frustration caused by the listener's actions.
I can't believe that's what you did
Disbelief or shock at the listener's actions.
Don't call me baby
Rejecting affectionate terms or endearment.
And I know I'm wrong, I knew all along that you'd find out
Admitting prior knowledge of wrongdoing and anticipating discovery.
I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now
Describing oneself as an error or regretful action, hoping for resolution.
Wake me up, I've been dreaming
Repetition of the desire to be awakened from a dreamlike state.
'Cause I haven't heard from you in, days
Concern over lack of communication for days.
Well hazy now, this fog just follows me around
Feeling mentally unclear or confused, with a persistent emotional burden.
And it's only you that burns it away
Credits the listener as the one who brings clarity or relief.
So get out, oh, just get out
Repeated urging for the listener to depart from the situation.
Get up, get out, that's what you said
Recollection of past advice or command to leave.
You drive me crazy
Expresses frustration caused by the listener's actions (repeated).
I can't believe that's what you did
Disbelief or shock at the listener's actions (repeated).
Don't call me baby
Rejecting affectionate terms or endearment (repeated).
I know I'm wrong, I knew all along that you'd find out
Admitting prior knowledge of wrongdoing and anticipating discovery (repeated).
I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now
Describing oneself as an error or regretful action, hoping for resolution (repeated).
I see your face every time I close my eyes
The listener's presence is vividly remembered even when eyes are closed.
It's getting worse you say
The situation or emotions are intensifying despite attempts to control them.
It comes as no surprise
No surprise in the worsening situation due to strong emotional attachment.
Why am I hell-bent on losing?
Questioning why there's a determined desire to fail or ruin things.
When I can't get you out of my head
The listener remains persistently in the speaker's thoughts.
Get up, get out, that's what you said
Recollection of past advice or command to leave (repeated).
You drive me crazy
Expresses frustration caused by the listener's actions (repeated).
I can't believe that's what you did
Disbelief or shock at the listener's actions (repeated).
Don't call me baby
Rejecting affectionate terms or endearment (repeated).
I know I'm wrong, I knew all along that you'd find out
Admitting prior knowledge of wrongdoing and anticipating discovery (repeated).
I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now
Describing oneself as an error or regretful action, hoping for resolution (repeated).
Oh I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make right now
Reiteration of being an error or regretful action, still hoping for resolution.
Oh you'll make right now
Reinforcing hope for resolution in the present moment.
