Awake

by Secondhand Serenade

With every appearance by you blinding my eyes
I can hardly remember the last time I felt like I do
You’re an angel disguised

And you’re lying real still but your heartbeat is fast just like mine
And the movie’s long over, that’s three that has passed
One more’s fine

Will you stay awake for me?
I don’t want to miss anything
I don’t want to miss anything

I will share the air I breathe
I’ll give you my heart on a string
I just don’t want to miss anything

I’m trying real hard not to shake
I’m biting my tongue but I’m feeling alive and
With every breath that I take, I feel like I’ve won
You’re my key to survival

And if it’s a hero you want I can save you
Just stay here
Your whispers are priceless, your presence is due
So please stay near

Will you stay awake for me?
I don’t want to miss anything
I don’t want to miss anything

I will share the air I breathe
I’ll give you my heart on a string
I just don’t want to miss anything

Say my name
I just want to hear you
Say my name
So I know it’s true

You’re changing me
You’re changing me
You showed me how to live
So just say, so just say

That you’ll stay awake for me
I don’t want to miss anything
I don’t want to miss anything

I will share (I will share) the air I breathe
I’ll give you my heart on a string (give you my heart on a string)
I just don’t want to miss anything.
