Avicii - Wake Me Up (Nicole Cross Official Lyrics Video). HAVE FUN!! LIKE, FAVORITE, AND FOLLOW!! Summary: “Wake Me Up” is the lead single for Avicii’s first studio album #True. It features Aloe Blacc, who wrote the lyrics on a plane flying from Geneva, Switzerland, to L.A. Like many other Avicii hits, this song was first introduced at the Ultra Music Festival with the live performance of a bluegrass band, swaying so far away from the typical EDM spectrum. It infuses Irish folk music with house beats, with vocals from American soul singer Aloe Blacc. The song spent 53 weeks on the Billboard charts (21 of them being in the top 10), making it the first Dance/Electronic song to stay over a year on that chart. It never reached the #1 spot, though; it only peaked at #4. The song also broke all of Avicii’s personal records of sales, topping music charts in 22 different countries as well as breaking the top 10 mark in 6 others. Commercially, the song has been a bigger hit than his previous “Levels” that only peaked at #60 on Billboard’s Top 100 and only spent 20 weeks on the charts.
LYRICS: [Verse 1] Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well that's fine by me [Chorus] So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands I hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans Wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is the prize [Chorus] So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost [Outro] I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
