Lyrics
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, yes, I would
If I could, I would let it go
Surrender
Dislocate
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame
If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, breakaway
Into the light and to the day
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
To let it go and so to fade away
To let it go and so fade away
Wide awake, I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping, oh no, no, no
If you should ask, then maybe they'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Bruised silken sky and burning flak
Colours crash, collide in bloodshot eyes
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation, revelation
In temptation, isolation, desolation
Let it go and so to fade away
To let it go, oh yeah, and so fade away
To let it go, oh no, and so to fade away
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no
