Wake up lyrics

You used to be my closest ally

In this cold cold world of deception and lies

We would defend and protect one another

Now I can't tell if we're enemies or lovers

So who's gonna rescue us from ourselves

When we gonna wake up baby?

When it's time for lovin'

When we gonna wake up my baby?

Before it's too late?

Oh, baby, where did we go wrong, baby?

Did this cold, cold world turn us into stone?

Now all I battle is your ego and your pride

It's ticking like a time bomb, ready too ignite

Hurtin' me to fight

Who's gonna rescue us from ourselves?

When we gonna wake up baby?

It's time for lovin'

When it's time for lovin'

Before it's too late?

When the smoke clears

What will be left for us but tears and pain

Why must we argue over the same things

Just to make up and go back again

It's never too late

But it's been too long

Can't get it right when no one thinks they're wrong

Gotta get out of bed

And take a look at what's going on.
