"Shake Me (Awake)" lyrics - 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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
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)

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
