Wake Up - Malcolm Middleton

When I wake up I wake up alone

I sit and I wait and listen for the phone

Only when you’re near me do I feel at home

Now you’re not with me and I want you to come home

And I’ll do the best I can but I’m a liar, I don’t have a plan

And I’ll do my best for you but I’m hopeless, I don’t have a clue

When I fuck up, I fuck up so good

I make mistakes and best laid plans can be misunderstood

Sometimes when you’re near me I still feel alone, So put your arms around me

then I’ll be back home

And I’ll do the best I can

I might be pissed but I’ll lend a hand.

And you know you’ll be safe in the

night, I’ll be awake and coughing by your side.

Don’t try to tell me that I’m

good coz I know better, I can call people with the proof

You need never lock your door, I’ll never sleep because you snore And I’ve

never wanted more than I’ve wanted you

And I’ll do the best I can but I’m a liar, I don’t have a plan

And I’ll do my best for you but I’m hopeless, I don’t have a clue

And I’ll be there when I can.

I might be pissed but I’ll lend a hand

And you know you’ll be safe in the night, I’ll be awake and coughing by your

side
