Wake me when it’s over
Try to figure it out but get caught up
Wake me when it’s over, now
On the side of the tracks that they were brought up
Sign of the push and the shove and the lack of the love
Wake me when it’s over
Wake me when it’s over, now
When it’s over
Where are the fathers of the fatherless?
Between 7th and south you will find her
Pick me up, I’m on the ground
Pick me up, I’m on the ground
She’s just a girl on the run, hit the streets so undone
Wake me, wake me, wake me, wake me
Show me where the light is found
Pick me up, I’m on the ground
Still she looks for the one that could save her
When it’s over
Wake me when it’s over
When it’s over
Now they’re speakin' it out through the silence and doubt
Now she’s workin' it out in the corner of town
Wake me when it’s over
You know what it’s about when they say
Try to figure it out but get caught up
Now they’re speakin' it out through the silence and doubt
Wake me when it’s over
I swear I will not make a sound
In the here and the now and the where and the how
Wake me when it’s over
You know, what it’s about when the say
Mistreated under the sheets by her father
Wake me when it’s over
In the here and the now and the where and the how
Keeps her heart cold and numb, thoughts she can’t overcome
Wake me when it’s over
You know what it’s about when she says
With her head in the clouds and her back on the ground
Wake me when it’s over
Show me where the light is found
