Been watching from a distance
At all the things that you do
And I’ll never be wishing
To do anything that you do

‘Cause I know myself
All I want is to get away
Still time for believing
Do it my way

Wide awake
I’m gonna live my life
The way that I wanna

Wide awake
And nothing you can do
Can break me down again

Wide awake
I’m so wide awake

I’m hoping and I’m praying
Not to deny my feelings
To live what I am saying
Let it all come revealing

It will drag you under
If you’re not true
Still time for believing
Playing by my own rules

Wide awake
I’m gonna live my life
The way that I wanna

Wide awake
And nothing you can do
Can break me down again

Wide awake
I’m so wide awake

A new way of thinking
Seeping my mindset
It’s time to grow
No time to regret

Wide awake
I’m gonna live my life
The way that I wanna

Wide awake
And nothing you can do
Can break me down again

Wide awake
I’m so wide awake
