Struan Shields That's When I Wake Up
Half asleep now
That, I felt it
Still I reach out
Half expecting
Warm skin against my hand
There's a cold and she didn't stay
I'm wide awake now
Lay and listen
But you won't come back
It slowly sinks in
Drift off and I forget
That I'm waking up to morning
Losing you again
Cause when I fall asleep
Suddenly everything
Seems like it's back the way it was
And all the pain is gone
And I'm not placed alone
Seems like we never called it off
Just as our lips touch
That's when I wake up
I try to move on
But no one known me
That I'd start over
Every moment
I should kick the sheets off
And start my day
But it's easier to lie here in the bed I made
And I, shouldn't be surprised
When I open my eyes
But it gets me every time
Cause when I fall asleep
Suddenly everything
Seems like it's back the way it was
And all the pain is gone
And I'm not placed alone
Seems like we never called it off
And just as our lips touch
That's when I wake up
And I'd go back in time
Damn near every night
Hearing you calling my name
Feeling you shake me awake
Whispering "New York can wait"
Cause when I fall asleep
Suddenly everything
Seems like it's back the way it was
And all the pain is gone
And I'm not placed alone
Seems like we never called it off
And I see memories
As I start to lean in
For the kiss I miss so much
But just as our lips touch
Reminds me what I've lost
And that's when I wake up
(Hearing you calling my name)
(Feeling you shake me awake)
