Katy Perry Wide Awake Lyrics

[Intro]
I’m wide awake
I’m wide awakes

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart (I’m wide awake)
How did I read the stars so wrong? (I’m wide awake)
And now it’s clear to me
That everything you see
Ain’t always what it seems (I’m wide awake)
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I knew then, what I know now
Wouldn’t dive in, wouldn’t bow down
Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet
‘Til I woke up on, on the concrete

[Chorus]
Falling from cloud nine
Crashing from the high
I’m letting go tonight
Yeah, I’m falling from cloud nine

[Verse 2]
I’m Wide Awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
Need nothing to complete myself, no
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion’s den
I don’t have to pretend (And it’s too late)
The story’s over now, the end

[Pre-Chorus] Katy Perry Lyrics

I wish I knew then, what I know now
Wouldn’t dive in, wouldn’t bow down
Gravity hurts, you made it so sweet
‘Til I woke up on, on the concrete

[Chorus]
Falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I’m)
Crashing from the high
I’m letting go tonight (Yeah, I’m letting you go, I’m)
I’m falling from cloud nine

[Bridge]
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
But I’m not blind anymore

[Interlude]
I’m wide awake

[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m falling from cloud nine (It was out of the blue, I’m)
Crashing from the high
You know, I’m letting go tonight (Yeah, I’m letting you go, I’m)
I’m falling from cloud nine

[Outro]
I’m wide awake
I’m wide awake

About music :

“Wide Awakes” is a song inspired by Katy’s divorce from Russell Brand,
in which she reveals that now that the relationship’s over she sees everything clearly.
The song details how Russell led her to believe that he loved her, until he decided to end the relationship.

What have the artists said about the song?
Well, this song, I have a lot of different emotions and feelings in all of my songs.
This song in particular is a dose of reality. It’s kind of like coming down from a high.
You’ve been on cloud nine for so long, and it can’t always be so sweet and sometimes you need to realize that,
and you have to pick yourself up and move forward and face the facts of life and know that this is just a lesson you learn and you’re stronger because of it.”
