Wake Up
Awakening Hearts: Colton Dixon's Call to Embrace Life
Lyrics
When I wake up I wake up alone
Expressing the solitude upon waking up.
I sit and I wait and listen for the phone
Waiting eagerly for communication, possibly a call.
Only when you're near me do I feel at home
Feeling a sense of belonging only when the person is close.
Now you're not with me and I want you to come home
Longing for the person who is not present and desiring their return.
And I'll do the best I can
Acknowledging personal limitations and dishonesty.
But I'm a liar, I don't have a plan
Admitting to lacking a clear plan and being deceptive.
And I'll do my best for you but I'm hopeless,
Expressing a commitment to do one's best despite feeling hopeless.
I don't have a clue
Confessing a lack of understanding or direction.
When I fuck up, I fuck up so good
Acknowledging the ability to make significant mistakes.
I make mistakes and best laid plans can be misunderstood
Recognizing that even well-thought-out plans can go awry.
Sometimes when you're near me I still feel alone,
Despite proximity, still experiencing a sense of loneliness.
So put your arms around me then I'll be back home
Seeking comfort through physical closeness.
And I'll do the best I can
Committing to doing the best despite personal flaws.
I might be pissed but I'll lend a hand
Willingness to assist despite being upset.
And you know you'll be safe in the night,
Ensuring the partner's safety during the night.
I'll be awake and coughing by your side
Indicating a commitment to staying awake and attentive.
Don't try to tell me that I'm good cause I know better,
Rejecting praise for goodness, asserting self-awareness.
I can call people with the proof
Claiming the ability to provide evidence to support statements.
You need never lock your door
Ensuring security, implying trustworthiness.
I'll never sleep because you snore
Highlighting a partner's unique habits, like snoring.
And I've never wanted more than I've wanted you
Expressing a strong desire for the person.
And I'll do the best I can but I'm a liar,
Reiterating personal dishonesty and lack of a clear plan.
I don't have a plan
Acknowledging a commitment to doing one's best despite flaws.
And I'll do my best for you but I'm hopeless,
Expressing hopelessness and a lack of understanding.
I don't have a clue
Confessing a lack of clarity or direction.
And I'll be there when I can
Committing to being present when possible.
I might be pissed but I'll lend a hand
Willing to help despite personal upset.
And you know you'll be safe in the night,
Reassuring safety during the night.
I'll be awake and coughing by your side
Affirming the commitment to staying awake and attentive.
