Sam Tsui - Wide Awake Lyrics

Sam Tsui Lyrics

"Wide Awake"
(originally by Katy Perry)

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong

I'm wide awake
And now its clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

[Pre-chorus]
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

[Chorus]
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(yeah I'm) falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
Picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself nooohooo

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Outta the lions den
I don't have to pretend
And its too late
The story's over now, the end yeah

[Pre-chorus]
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

[Chorus]
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(yeah I'm) falling from cloud 9

Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
But I'm not blind anymore cause I'm wide awake

[Chorus]
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(yeah I'm) falling from cloud 9

(oh now I'm) falling from cloud 9
It was outta the blue, I'm
Crashing from the high
(yeah) I'm letting go tonight
Letting go of illusion
(now I'm) falling from cloud 9
