Are You Awake?

  • Are you awake? I've been thinkin' through some things
    Been countin' their babies and their diamond wedding rings
    Are you awake? I feel a sadness in my skin
    It happens sometimes now
    Are you awake? I don't remember when we last spoke
    I probably overshared or made some tasteless joke
    Are you awake? I miss the streetlights and the smoke
    It happens sometimes now

    Please, give me a sign
    Give me a Hollywood line
    Some feelings don't fade away with space and time
    It's a state of mind
    It's just a state of mind

    Hometown hero is a poisoned chalice choice
    If they don't love you you're just destined to disappoint
    Are you awake? I miss the texture of your voice
    It happens more often now

    Please, give me a sign
    Give me a Hollywood line
    Some feelings don't fade away with space and time
    It's a state of mind
    It's just a state of mind

    Some of the feelings fade with space and time
    It's a state of mind
    It's just a state of mind
    It's just a state of mind Writer/s: Lauren Mayberry, Matthew Koma, Tobias Jesso Jr.
