Lyrics of 'Wake Up' by Patricia Marx

Midnight on Friday night, it's cold though starry and I
And I feel like a loner
I should stick to now and slowly move ahead still
Still it makes me wonder
It has been quite some time since your smile faded out
Just like a sweet dream
And though peace and quiet became more and more present/ somehow you're still
Here

Choices and decisions can create the time for us to
To live what we're meant for
I gave you time, so you could sort yourself out/ it's only up to you now
The biggest proof of love I gave lies in letting you go
While I sort myself out
And risky as it may seem, just like life itself
No other choice suits us now

I can't help myself, yearning for the day we're back on track
Why can't you make it count? I know you feel the very same way
Why can't you hurry up? The longer it takes, the more time we're wasting
Why can't you see it through? Wake up, all now just depends on you

Happiness is a journey, not a mere destination and
It's built in every step forward
Stop taking into account silly advice from others
They're not in your shoes
Those who really care will certainly tell you to / l
I've up your real dreams
Those who don't simply say: Take the easy path, dude
They are the first to judge you

Another day has come with a brand-new chance to change
Things for the better
Courage to be happy is the key for a life worth living so
Stand up for you now
Regret comes in many ways, the worst one has to do
With what we didn't do
You always told me how you do not want to be a wimp
What are you going to do now?

I can't help myself, yearning for the day we're back on track
Why can't you make it count? I know you feel the very same way
Why can't you hurry up? The longer it takes, the more time we're wasting
Why can't you see it through? Wake up, all now just depends on you
