Lyrics of Wake Me Up by Avicii

verse

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can′t tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I′m caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well, that's fine by me

chorus

So wake me up when it′s all over
When I′m wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was finding myself, and I
Didn′t know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I′m wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was finding myself, and I
Didn′t know I was lost

verse

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

chorus

So wake me up when it′s all over
When I′m wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was finding myself, and I
Didn′t know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I′m wiser and I'm older
All this time, I was finding myself, and I
Didn′t know I was lost

outro

I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn′t know I was lost
I didn′t know, I didn't know, I didn′t know
