"Wake Up Kid" lyrics

"Wake Up Kid"

Slow rolling days
I have found a million broken ways
To unfold myself
And gently fade away

So, who am I?
An arrow line against
A frail tide

I'm a dust mote darling
You're a hundred million miles

But when the sun goes down
All of our gilded gowns fall

I woke up in the middle of the night
I didn't know where I was
I felt the vastness of a darkened heart
I really need to feel your love

Cos I don't want to
Live like a marionette
Held up by the strings
Of my own regret
I know it's such a darkened dream
I've drowned in it
So long

I've sailed dappled days
To separate the passage
From the page
Illuminate the corners
Find the silent sage

And now it's time to wake up
Now it's time to wake up, kid
