Wake Me Up and You're Gone
Ephemeral Love's Undoing: Wake Me Up And You're Gone
Lyrics
The wave on which you rode so sly
The previous state of connection or relationship that you subtly navigated
Until now has not receded
That state hasn't diminished or faded away up to this point
Whoever comes right after you
Anyone who follows you in succession
Who cares whom you preceded
It doesn't matter whom you came before or preceded
We got caught in the middle
We find ourselves entangled in a complex situation
You’re acting juvenile
Your behavior is immature or childish
Inhibiting my mind
Causing a hindrance or constraint to my thoughts
We got caught in the middle
We find ourselves entangled in a complex situation (repeated)
Insist on being mine
Insisting on being exclusively mine
And only mine
Emphasizing the exclusivity of ownership
Only mine
Reiteration of the exclusive claim
And only mine
Further emphasis on exclusive possession
This affection felt alive (Spine Tingle of Perfection)
The emotional connection felt vibrant and perfect (Spine Tingle of Perfection)
Tight-knit twisted intertwined (Was It By My Own Volition)
Strongly interconnected and entwined with complexity (Was It By My Own Volition)
Sweet deception went all wrong (Or Was it all against my wishes?)
A pleasant deception took an unexpected turn (Or Was it all against my wishes?)
Wake Me Up And You’re Gone
The realization of loss or absence when awakening
This savage journey that we had
A challenging and wild journey we experienced
Putting my patience to the test
Testing the limits of my patience
Enchantment distance lent to us
A magical distance lent to us through enchantment
Could I eclipse everyone else?
Questioning if I could surpass everyone else in significance
Contrary to some beliefs
Contrary to what some believe or think
I too flood with remorse
I also experience a flood of regret or guilt
Set adrift by tide
Drifting away, carried by the tide
Contrary to some beliefs
Contrary to what some believe or think (repeated)
I could’ve been all yours Oh oh
I could have belonged entirely to you
And only yours
Emphasizing exclusive belonging
And only yours
Reiteration of exclusive belonging
This affection felt alive (Spine Tingle of Perfection)
The emotional connection felt vibrant and perfect (Spine Tingle of Perfection) (repeated)
Tight-knit twisted intertwined (Was It By My Own Volition)
Strongly interconnected and entwined with complexity (Was It By My Own Volition) (repeated)
Sweet deception went all wrong (Or Was it all against my wishes?)
A pleasant deception took an unexpected turn (Or Was it all against my wishes?) (repeated)
Wake Me Up And You’re Gone
The realization of loss or absence when awakening (repeated)
In all the moments that we shared
In all the moments we shared
We’re building castles in the air
We were constructing dreams that may not materialize
This affection felt alive (Spine Tingle of Perfection)
The emotional connection felt vibrant and perfect (Spine Tingle of Perfection) (repeated)
Tight-knit twisted intertwined (Was It By My Own Volition)
Strongly interconnected and entwined with complexity (Was It By My Own Volition) (repeated)
Sweet deception went all wrong (Or Was it all against my wishes?)
A pleasant deception took an unexpected turn (Or Was it all against my wishes?) (repeated)
Wake Me Up And You’re Gone
The realization of loss or absence when awakening (repeated)
