Shake Me (Awake) - The Dear Hunter

When bliss can’t be found, I stumble around

In a daze without a destination

If you wanna go now, honey honey, save me a seat

'Cause I know I’d find relief, oh, if I could just suspend my disbelief

Oh!

I got low for a minute

Just think about the places I don’t go when I’m stuck in the race

Oh!

I gotta let go of tomorrow

'Cause I never would’ve missed today

Come and shake me awake (shake, shake me awake)

And pull me far away (so far away)

From the endless circles I’ve been running in

I’ve had about all I can take (so take, take, take me away)

So take me far away (so far, far away)

To a life that’s far less ordinary

Before I’m in the mortuary

If day becomes dusk, don’t let that stop us

On our way to something more uncertain

'Cause when we arrive, oh honey honey, wherever we’re goin'

We may never want to leave, so just stay a while with me

Come and shake me awake (shake, shake me awake)

Pull me far away (so far away)

From the endless circles I’ve been running in

I’ve had about all I can take (so take, take, take me away)

So take me far away (so far, far away)

To a life that’s far less ordinary

How did I get so obsessed with time?

When there’s no way I could know

How long I’ll be before my time

So you and I should carve a little out before I go

Maybe attend more matinees

Spend more time at the park

Be less concerned with what the haters say

'Cause they’re just haters (they're just haters anyway)

Oh!

I got low for a minute

Just think about the places I don’t go when I’m stuck in the race

Oh!

I gotta let go of tomorrow

Or I never would’ve, never would’ve

Never would’ve, never would’ve

Never would’ve missed today

Come and shake me awake (shake, shake me awake)

Pull me far away (so far away)

From the endless circles I’ve been running in

I’ve had about all I can take (so take, take, take me away)

So take me far away (so far, far away)

To a life that’s far less ordinary

Before I’m in the mortuary
