American Football - Wake Her Up Lyrics

American Football Lyrics

"Wake Her Up"
(feat. Wisp)

[Mike Kinsella:]
I have a morbid fascination
Of trauma that I can't mend
Of course I fell in love with the girl of the River Seine

I'm covered in isolation
Was never a "if" but "when"
I'd accidentally fall in love with the girl of the River Seine

[Wisp:]
Wake her up
Wake her up
Wake her up
Wake her up

[Mike Kinsella:]
Your daughter's not dead, she's just asleep
For hours on end, for days, or forever, she dreams

Her remains remain
Unknown, unloved, unclaimed

[Wisp:]
Wake her up
Wake her up
Wake her up
Wake her up

[Mike Kinsella:]
No praise or adulation
The flower's in the air
Of the boy who fell in love with the girl at the bottom of the River Seine

[Wisp:]
Wake her up
Wake her up
Wake her up
Wake her up

[Mike Kinsella:]
I can't
