Lying next to you in the dark   Listening to your pounding heart   The sheets are tangled around your waist   I watch the dream moving on your face   I feel you shake, hear your cries   Running in the dark trying to open your eyes   Come on baby, wake up      I've followed you across the days and years   I've been there for the thrills and the tears   Chasing you from state to state   Waking, dreaming, I try to relate   Why should I be somebody you fear?      When you're asleep and I'm so near?   Don't even know why I'm in your dreams   I got control over none of these things   Morning comes, hard and bright   And I'm exhausted from running after you all night   Chasing you into the light      Yeah I've been reaching for you baby   As if I could reach you when you dream at night   But I never can quite      I ain't lying here awake by myself you better wake up   There's something I want to talk to you about you better wake up   I love you girl, tell the world I do there's nothing I wouldn't do for you   I want to rescue you like you rescued me   From a life of doubt and uncertainty   That's why I'm chasing you chasing you into the light      Go for a walk on the pier with me baby   Now as the dawn comes over the night   Watching the stars in the sky disappear maybe   You'll find a way to let go of your fright      The sea is deep, the world is wide   Ships are leaving for the other side   This whole city will be waking soon and in the east   Clouds are strung out behind the moon   Chasing her into the light wake up      I ain't lying here awake by myself you better wake up   There's something I got to talk to you about you better wake up   Baby wake up, wake up, baby wake up, wake up, wake up
