"Wide Awake" lyrics

"Wide Awake"

Wide awake
But still I'm gone
Just a darkened room
A song for you
I'm hanging in the clouds that you would break
Craving, craving for you

I'm swaying in the doubt that's marching on
Fighting it with pure despair
Breathing, feeling, craving just for you
Oh yeah, I am craving, craving, craving

Lying here wide awake
Waiting for your embrace
You are my sweet escape
From stormy days

So many words to say
Praying you'll come my way
Without you I suffocate
With eyes wide shut

I hear you breathe
Though you're not here
All that's left is sedulity
I try to realize that it won't go away
Cause I'm craving, craving, craving

Lying here wide awake
Waiting for your embrace
You are my sweet escape
From stormy days

So many words to say
Praying you'll come my way
Without you I suffocate
With eyes wide shut
