Waking Up Now

Snow Patrol

Compositor: Gary Lightbody / Johnny McDaid / Nathan Connolly

Son, you're a long way west of us now
And God doesn't see you anymore
This map hasn't been completed, the landmarks are you and you alone
Is anything calling you back to your home again?

Are you waking up now? Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
Is there nothing you'll leave behind or will you make it all fit?
Now you've gathered up everything you've done and carried it

Son, you're a far cry from defeated
But you have a rage that breaks my heart
And time isn't like an arrow, it's more like an axe that falls on you
Where past can be future happening in present day

Are you waking up now? Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
Is there nothing you'll leave behind or will you make it all fit?
Now you've gathered up everything you've done and carried it

Are you waking up now? Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
Is there nothing you'll leave behind or will you make it all fit?
Now you've gathered up everything you've done and carried it

Are you waking up now? Are you shaking in dust?
Or will you marry the lie before the truth kills all of us?
