From the recording Stomping Grounds
About overcoming your own denial that your partner is cheating on you, and making the decision to move on.
Lyrics
Wide Awake
Tell-tale signs of someone else
Little things left in your trunk
I’ve been half-asleep to your half-lies so long that I’ve gone numb
But not today, I’m Wide Awake
Damn Straight, I’m Wide Awake
I capture every detail
Each expression on your face
I catch the worry in your eye
And the way you look away
Make no mistake, I’m Wide Awake
Damn Straight, I’m Wide Awake
There’s no use trying to change you, it’s time for you to go
It don’t matter what you say, it’s the best thing for us both
Ooh ooh ooh . . .
It’s too late, I’m Wide Awake
Damn Straight, I’m Wide Awake
