Woke Up Lyrics

The simplest of pleasures

The moments we treasure

The things we think matter

None of it quite measures up

The things I've been chasing

They've got me racing around

And I can't help thinking

There's something I still haven't found

'Cause I used to think we were happy

Then I woke up

Woke up

Now when I picture me happy

I get choked up

Choked up

And I think I might have been dreaming

Something I think I should be feeling

And I used to think this was happy

Then I woke up

Woke up

I'm searching for meaning

Trying to give purpose to feelings

I need to feel needed

Isn't that the same for all of us

I'm running in circles

Losing my mind twice a week

'Cause all of this purpose

Feels like someone else chose it for me

'Cause I used to think we were happy

Then I woke up

Woke up

Now when I picture me happy

I get choked up

Choked up

And I think I might have been dreaming

Something I think I should be feeling

And I used to think this was happy

Then I woke up

Woke up

'Cause we're just living ticking boxes

Watching ticking clocks

And waiting on some sign

That everything'll work out

We just have hold out

Standing in this line

I have all these questions

Trying to make some sense

Of how we do life

'Cause does this make us happy

Yes does this matter really

And I used to think we were happy

Then I woke up

Woke up

Now when I picture me happy

I get choked up

Choked up

And I used to think we were happy

Then I woke up

Woke up

Now when I picture me happy

I get choked up

Choked up

And I think I might have been dreaming

Something I think I should be feeling

And I used to think this was happy

Then I woke up

Woke up
