Story Behind the Song
Sometimes it feels like you're losing contact with yourself and you have to chase yourself to get back to what you once was. And in the meantime, the mean time passes...
This song was recorded without a form or a plan for the song, and we had to improvise to make it work. We think it came out rather good.
Lyrics
But it will only last until christmas or so
When the winter is melting my heart will melt too
So I keep on loving little stars, seas and tears
And I seek for resistance and for things that will last
I do know what you taste like and I see all your scars
Wake up, wake up, see my tears
Wake up, wake up, feel my fears
Wake up, wake up, the only thing passing is our years and I see all your scars tonight
But it will only last until easter or so
When the chickens are dying my heart will die too
Or maybe I keep on loving little wisdom words and poems
And I seek for what is left to save and hope that it lasts
I do know why my sorrow flees when I am with you
Wake up, wake up...
Some say: go and get what you want
I used to say: go and get what you want
I thought I would go and get what I wanted but I guess that it's a lie
But it will only last until someone comes and rescues me
When the firemen are chasing flames, I'm gonna keep on chasing me
Or maybe I keep on being this little actress in new shoes
And I will seek for what is left to save, all that it's at
'Cause I know how to look for things, I've said it all my life
Wake up, wake up...
