Wake Up, Wake Up Songtext
von Tullycraft

You seemed resigned to find a frequency
Somehow I still believed in alchemy
The secrets we were told, they never turned to gold
Untie and twist until the brake lights blind us
The radio, they called it Caroline
From shook to shork and we could get a crime
We sank with sympathy in 1983
A heavy-handed touch of symbolism finds us

Near the road whose great fame is owed
To pending coronation
Near the road, in absence we′re told


We're going to wake up too soon
And I don′t want to be the one who loved you
Wake up too soon
We fell asleep without a sound
Turn around

Turn around and finally brave the night
A single moon, a single satellite
Picked up a souvenir to prove that we were here
We trade nostalgia from the comfort of the barstool
I've seen your friends, I hear you're married now
With every single dare I dare a vow
Somehow I made it worse and simplified the verse
We lied awake with thoughts we pilfered from the art school

Still you know the breakwater′s slow
The waves of California
Still you know there′s nowhere to go


We're going to wake up too soon
And I don′t want to be the one who loved you
Wake up too soon
We fell asleep without a sound
Turn around
