I'M Awake
Norah Jones · Visions
Remember when I lost control?
I lost my soul (I'm finally awake)
There were times when I lost my mind
But now I'm fine (I'm finally awake)
Stuck in your sadness, swallowed me away (but I'm finally awake)
The thumping in the walls is the beat of my own heart (but I'm finally awake)
(Now I'm finally awake)
How do you know what is real?
When it rains it bleeds, when it bleeds it pours (but I'm finally awake)
You pushed me in the moment I deserved (but I'm finally awake)
(Now I'm finally awake)
Now Heaven looks like a fancy restaurant
(And I'm finally awake) ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
How do you know what is real?
(Now I'm finally awake)
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright (ooh)
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright
It'll be alright
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright (fly your kite all your life)
It'll be alright
Fly your kite all your life
Fly your kite all your life
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright (fly your kite all your life)
It'll be alright (fly your kite)
It'll be alright (all your life)
It'll be alright (don't let go)
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
I lost my soul (I'm finally awake)
There were times when I lost my mind
But now I'm fine (I'm finally awake)
Stuck in your sadness, swallowed me away (but I'm finally awake)
The thumping in the walls is the beat of my own heart (but I'm finally awake)
(Now I'm finally awake)
How do you know what is real?
When it rains it bleeds, when it bleeds it pours (but I'm finally awake)
You pushed me in the moment I deserved (but I'm finally awake)
(Now I'm finally awake)
Now Heaven looks like a fancy restaurant
(And I'm finally awake) ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
How do you know what is real?
(Now I'm finally awake)
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright (ooh)
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright
It'll be alright
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright (fly your kite all your life)
It'll be alright
Fly your kite all your life
Fly your kite all your life
Fly your kite all your life
Don't let go, it'll be alright (fly your kite all your life)
It'll be alright (fly your kite)
It'll be alright (all your life)
It'll be alright (don't let go)
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
