Lyrics
I waited and I waited for a love like this
I eagerly anticipated and waited for a love like the one I have now.
Now I never wanna let you go
I never want to release or lose the love I've found.
But just to keep holding on
To continue holding on to this love, I must endure another period of waiting.
I have to wait again
Waiting involves enduring the passage of time, which erodes my understanding of everything.
While time wears at all I know
Time wears away at my knowledge and perceptions.
I lie awake and count the days
I spend sleepless nights counting the days, consumed by longing.
Wishing I could dream them all away
I wish I could escape reality by dreaming away the days.
Don't wake me baby
A plea not to disrupt the dreamlike state by waking the person.
I know the way that it ends
A acknowledgment that the dream may not have a happy ending.
Don't wake me baby, not til I see you again
A request not to wake until a reunion occurs.
Don't wake me, I know the way that it ends
An understanding of the potential unhappy ending.
Don't wake me baby
A plea to maintain the dream state despite the difficulties.
It gets harder and harder just remembering
Expressing the increasing difficulty of holding onto the memories.
I can't escape the doubt, it's in the air
Feeling surrounded by doubt, making it hard to escape.
Holding out for winter and
Anticipating a challenging period and worrying about the future.
Worried bout spring
Concerns about the changing seasons and their impact on the relationship.
Every moment that I know we'll share
Acknowledging the value of moments shared with the loved one.
I lie awake and count the days
Continuing to count days, hoping for a dreamlike escape.
Wishing I could dream them all away
Expressing the desire to avoid facing the harsh reality of the days.
Don't wake me baby
Reiterating the plea not to disrupt the dream state.
I know the way that it ends
Acknowledging the awareness of a potentially difficult ending.
Don't wake me baby, not til I see you again
Requesting not to be awakened until a reunion is possible.
Don't wake me, I know the way that it ends
Understanding the potential unhappy outcome.
Don't wake me baby
Pleading to maintain the dream despite the challenges.
When I fall asleep, I know I'll see
Anticipating seeing a thousand lovely dreams with the loved one while asleep.
A thousand lovely dreams, only you and me
Expressing the exclusivity of the dreams, shared only between the speaker and the loved one.
Awake, how long the days always seem
Acknowledging the perceived length of awake moments in contrast to dream-filled sleep.
Don't wake me baby
Reiterating the plea not to disrupt the dreamlike state.
I know the way that it ends
Acknowledging the awareness of a potentially difficult ending.
Don't wake me baby, not til I see you again
Requesting not to be awakened until a reunion is possible.
Don't wake me, I know the way that it ends
Understanding the potential unhappy outcome.
Don't wake me baby
Pleading to maintain the dream despite the challenges.
