Wake me up!

I take the same way to work each day, sometimes only half awake.

I rarely change it up, and take the same way back.

Someone please tell me how to find another path,

I don't know how much certainty one lonely heart can take.

*

I just want to feel alive.

I just wanna matter sometimes,

oh please, what's it gonna take to wake me up inside?

*

Just going through the motions,

but deep down a piece hangs on.

Hoping that I’m gonna get it right-

holding on to make through another night.

*

I’ve created a façade,

and everybody plays along.

They don’t wanna see the difference,

It’s easier to be indifferent

*

I just wanna feel alive,

I just wanna matter sometimes.

Oh please, tell me how to wake me up inside!

*

Cause this waiting on the answer, never taking any chances-

is eating me alive!

I need something to revive me, I need someone to remind me-

I'm still breathing, and I'm worth saving!

*

I just wanna feel alive

I just wanna matter sometimes

Can anyone please,

Please, just wake me up!?
