lyrics

BEAUTY
Okay, let’s try this
Nice and calm and quiet
Don’t get excited
I won’t start a riot
I promise not to go too fast
Let’s take the night and make it last

I turn the key, I like the sound
The motor runs, the wheel goes ’round
The shifting gears, the pretty view
It’s nice just being here with you

You make me feel awake
Awake
Awake like I have never felt before
I’m sure
It’s more than just the opposite of sleeping
It’s a feeling, it’s an ache
It’s something when you’re near that
I can’t shake
You make me feel awake

ORDERLY
I really can’t imagine
Why it’s me you’ve chosen
And how it happened
As you lay there dozin’

But here you are and I confess
I don’t deserve such happiness

I used to sleepwalk through my days
Now I’m astounded, I’m amazed
‘Cause everything has changed, I think
I doubt that I could sleep a wink

BOTH
You make me feel awake
Awake
Awake like I have never felt before
I’m sure
It’s more than just the opposite of sleeping
It’s a feeling, it’s an ache
It’s something when you’re near that
I can’t shake
You make me feel awake

BEAUTY
And I like what I’ve woken to
The magic of the ordinary world
Wondrous things modern folk can do
Unheard of by this ordinary girl
Buildings touch the sky
Stairways rise by unseen forces
Cars go racing by
Faster than the fastest horses
When I fell asleep I never knew
I’d open up my eyes and I’d find you

BOTH
You make me feel awake
Awake
Awake like I have never felt before
I’m sure
It’s more than just the opposite of sleeping
It’s a feeling, it’s an ache
It’s something when you’re near that
I can’t shake
You make me feel awake...
