Wide Awake

Story Behind The Song

This song formed out of a song I've been singing and writing for ten years. It always has a change each time a approach a recording of it. This was written in mine and my girlfriend's first flat together when we were living on nothing, striving for a creative life when the odds seemed stacked against us.

Lyrics

When you need a little something
To get you through the night
I really hoping that life is
Gonna roll me better dice
When you've already made your mind up
But your talking all the while
You've already made your mind up
But your talking all the while

Wide awake and all the way to mine and always someone else's
Wide awake and all the way to mine and always someone else's

The fear of making something
That can be undermined
I hold my trust in someone
Crushed in her father's smile
I've already made my mind up but I'm talking all the while
I've already made my mind up but I'm talking all the while

Wide awake and all the way to mine and always someone else's
Wide awake and all the way to mine and always somneone else's
