Lyrics That's When I Wake Up - Struan Shields

Half asleep now bed half empty
Still I reach out half expecting
Warm skin against my hand
There's a cold linen sheet instead
I'm wide awake now lean and listen
But you wont come back it slowly sinks in
Drift off and I forget
That I'm waking up alone and losing you again

Cause when I fall asleep
Suddenly everything seems like it's back the way it was
And all the pain is gone and my mind plays along
Seems like we never called it off
And just as our lips touch
That's when I wake up

I tried to move on but no one warned me
That I'd start over every morning
I should kick the sheets off and start my day
But it's easier to lie here in the bed I made
And I shouldn't be surprised when I open my eyes
But it gets me everytime

Cause when I fall asleep
Suddenly everything seems like it's back the way it was
And all the pain is gone and my mind plays along
Seems like we never called it off
And just as our lips touch
That's when I wake up

And I go back in time
Damn near every night
Hearin' you callin' my name
Feelin' you shake me awake
Whisperin' New York can wait

Cause when I fall asleep
Suddenly everything seems like it's back the way it was
And all the pain is gone and my mind plays along
Seems like we never called it off
And I see memories
As I start to lean in for the kiss I missed so much
But just as our lips touch
Reminds me what I've lost
And that's when I wake up

(Hearin' you callin' my name)
(Feelin' you shake me awake)
