Wide Awake Songtext
von Waltari

Wide awake full of faith and destiny
Am I safe?
You′re away
The red wine makes me fall into sleep
I'm awake
I can′t sleep coz I'm worrying again
Wide awake
With passion I build up my world

Every day having espresso in a cafe
I ride
Where I ride I don't really know
It′s inside
It′s inside but outside it's also nice

I seek for adventures, to go very far
Further than distance, with my Jaguar


Wish I could see myself
Wish I could pray for us today
The stories are for kids,
But this is pure reality, just like you, just like me
An old lady sits in a corner
With some wisdom on her face
She has a long story to tell,
An ugly life with full discrace... on her face

Wide awake
I know there′s always a way
Anyway,
I need to see all the cards of fate
I sway
By the beauty of the shores of Seine
I'm insane
It′s inside but outside it's also nice

I always come back, and I always leave,
Looking for something, wish I could be healed

Wish I could see myself
Wish I could pray for us today
The stories are for kids,
But this is pure reality, just like you, just like me
An old lady sits in a corner
With some wisdom on her face
She has a long story to tell,
An ugly life with full discrace... on her face


Wide awake,
Let me stay...
