Oh
I walk whenever you walk
I told you all my bad dreams
Thought everything was okay (You never told me)
But I guess you never said things (Ooh, yeah)
One day we went away
To my daddy's place we left the A, yeah
The time we ran away
And now I'm standing at your grave and saying
You can awake, you can awake
You live a fucked up life but you cannot die, no
You can awake, you can awake
I know you can't really breathe but you can't leave me, no
Away, oh-oh-oh
And I know, know, know, know (Oh yeah)
Away, oh, oh
And I know, know, know, know
Good gracious, my lady
Awake from your fantasy
I've waited, you're wasted
My faith has lost me, now I can't
Now I'm tryna to find a way to make you sound awake
You live in the past, it's December, but you say it's May
You live on this planet where there's no other faces
Don't take life for granted, I want you and your graces
Oh, oh
You can awake, you can awake
You live a fucked up life but you cannot die, no
You can awake, you can awake
I know you can't really breathe but you can't leave me, no
Away, oh-oh-oh
And I know, know, know, know (Oh yeah)
Away, oh, oh
And I know, know, know, know
Hey, grandma's in the sun, I see her in the night
An angel in my life, but I feel like she's alive
And mama's getting high, she can never lie
Don't wanna get that call that she went into the sky
Away, oh-oh-oh
And I know, know, know, know (Oh yeah)
Away, oh, oh
And I know, know, know, know
Hey Doobie, been calling you most of the time today
I just wanted to say, love you
Keep your head up, continue to walk by faith, not by sight
Let go and let God handle the rest
Everything is gonna work itself in its own place
Don't give up, never give up
Continue to walk by faith, not by sight
And let go and let God handle the rest, and I want to say I love you
Don't forget that
And I'll call you again, just to check up on you
Love you, bye
