You go running out the door
Always a rush for something more
While the forest hid behind your trees

The motions you were going through
Did a ghost understudy for you?
As you left them all twisting in the breeze

And did you take the road well traveled?
Cuttin’ corners, skipping like a stone
Did you ever feel alone?
When there were no days left to postpone

Were you wide awake?
Were you wide awake?
Did you take a look around?
Take a really good look around?
And were you wide awake?

When the flare took the night
Making everything bright
And you could see where everyone stood

That’s when your mask took it’s last stand
Clutching straws, your back against the wall
You could have had it all
You could have just got up after the fall

If you were wide awake
If you were wide awake
You could have taken a look around
Taken a really good look around
If you were wide awake

If you were wide awake
If you were wide awake
You could have taken a look around
Taken a really good look around
If you were wide awake
