[Verse 1]
Wide awake
No shut-eye in this seaside hell
Like you can't catch a break
And you can't break the spell
[Chorus]
So you cry yourself to sleep, just like a baby
Is it January or July?
[Verse 2]
Wide awake
You know that feeling all too well
What is real? What is fake?
Bet sometimes you can't tell
[Chorus]
When you cry yourself to sleep, I hear it, baby
When your heart is achy, so am I
That's why tears echo in my eye
Watching yours roll away as winds blow by
[Verse 3]
Wide awake
No phantoms in the land of dreams
No artificial lake
No "nothing's as it seems"
[Chorus]
When you cry yourself to sleep just like a baby
The memories feeling hazy liquefy
Oh my, in the blink of an eye
Watch it all wash away as winds blow by
Wave goodbye to the sweet by-and-by
Watch it all fade away as time goes by
