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 it's clear to me That everything you see Ain't always what it seems (I'm wide awake) Yeah, I was dreaming for so long
I wish I knew then, what I know now Wouldn't dive in, wouldn't bow down Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet 'Til I woke up on, on the concrete
Falling from cloud nine Crashing from the high I'm letting go tonight Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine
I'm wide awake Not losing any sleep I picked up every piece And landed on my feet (I'm wide awake) Need nothing to complete myself, no (I'm wide awake) Yeah, I am born again Out of the lion's den I don't have to pretend (And it's too late) The story's over now, the end
I wish I knew then, what I know now Wouldn't dive in, wouldn't bow down Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet 'Til I woke up on, on the concrete
Falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm) Crashing from the high I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm) I'm falling from cloud nine (I'm wide awake)
Thunder rumbling Castles crumbling (I'm wide awake) I am trying to hold on (I'm wide awake) God knows that I tried Seeing the bright side (I'm wide awake) But I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide awake I'm wide awake
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I'm) Crashing from the high You know, I'm letting go tonight (Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm) I'm falling from cloud nine
