Wide Awake

Verse 1
11:54, red lights on the wall
Shadows in the room, yeah they’re ten feet tall
Try to close my eyes but my mind won’t break
Every road I know keeps me wide awake

Old route callin’, yeah I hear its name
Different wheels but it’s the same damn game
I’ve been here before, I know what it takes
Still that voice in my head won’t fade

Pre-Chorus
Tick-tock, heartbeat outta time
Tryna shut it off but it won’t unwind

Chorus (big + catchy)
I’m wide awake at 11:54
Knock knock knockin’ on tomorrow’s door
Every doubt sayin’ “you ain’t that fast”
But I’ve outrun worse in my past

Yeah the night gets loud but I’ve been here before
Flat on my back starin’ at the floor
If I make it through till the morning sun
I’ll be alright when the day gets done

I’m wide awake…
Yeah I’m wide awake…
At 11:54

Verse 2
Rumors float like smoke in the dark
Tryna find a way back into my heart
But I know the truth, I know my name
I ain’t goin’ back to that old me’s place

Hands still steady, yeah they know the wheel
Even when my head don’t know what’s real
Fear talks big when the world’s this still
But it don’t mean a damn thing in the daylight chill

Pre-Chorus
Tick-tock, breathin’ in the doubt
But I ain’t never been one to back out

Chorus
I’m wide awake at 11:54
Knock knock knockin’ on tomorrow’s door
Every doubt sayin’ “you ain’t that fast”
But I’ve outrun worse in my past

Yeah the night gets loud but I’ve been here before
Flat on my back starin’ at the floor
If I make it through till the morning sun
I’ll be alright when the day gets done

Bridge (strip it down → then explode)
(Soft)
Maybe I don’t gotta win the race
Just gotta show up, find my pace

(Build)
One more mile, one more street
Put that fear underneath my feet

(Full band hits)
I ain’t done, I ain’t through
Tomorrow don’t scare me like it used to

Final Chorus (anthem)
I was wide awake at 11:54
But I kicked that doubt right out the door
When the sun came up and the engine roared
I was right back where I was before

Yeah the night got loud but it don’t no more
Ain’t layin’ there on that bedroom floor
Turns out fear don’t mean a thing
When you face the day and do your thing

I was wide awake…
Yeah I was wide awake…
At 11:54
