KATY PERRY - WIDE AWAKE
(I'm Wide Awake)
(I'm Wide Awake)
(I'm Wide Awake) 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
I Wish I Knew Then What I Know Now
Would't Dive In, Wouldn't Bow Down
Gravity Hurts And Made It So Sweet
'Till I Woke Up, On, On The Concrete
Falling From Clyde Nine
Crashing From The High
I'm Letting Go Tonight
Yeah I'm Falling From Cloud Nine
(I'm Wide Awake) Not Losing Any Sleep
I Picked Up Every Piece And Landed On My Feet
(I'm Wide Awake) Need Nothing To Complete Myself, No
(I'm Wide Awake) Yeah I Am Born Again
Out Of The Lions Den, I Don't Have To Pretend
(And Now It's Too Late) The Storys Over Now The End
I Wish I Knew Then What I Know Now
Would't Dive In, Wouldn't Bow Down
Gravity Hurts And Made It So Sweet
'Till I Woke Up, On, On The Concrete
Falling From Clyde 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 Falling From Cloud Nin
(I'm Wide Awake) Thunder Rumbling
Castles Crumbling (I'm Wide Awake)
I Am Trying To Hold On (I'm Wide Awake)
God Knows That I've Tried
Seeing The Bright Side (I'm Wide Awake)
I'm Not Bling Anymore (I'm Wide Awake, I'm Wide Awake)
Yeah I'm Falling From Clyde 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 Falling From Cloud Nine
(I'm Wide Awake) (Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah)
(I'm Wide Awake) (Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah)
(I'm Wide Awake) (Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah)
(I'm Wide Awake) (Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah) (I'm Wide Awake)
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Katy Perry, Lukasz Gottwald, Max Martin, Henry Walter, Bonnie McKee
Producer(s): Dr. Luke, Cirkut
On The Face Of It, The Lyrics Appear To Allude Perry's Breakup With Her Husband Russell Brand. However, Since "Part Of Me" Was Recorded Long Before This Re-Release, It's Hard To Tell Whether The British Comedian Is Actually The Intended Target Of This Song.
Perry Penned The Song Specifically For Her Katy Perry: Part Of Me Movie. "I Was Doing This Movie And They Asked Me If I Wanted To Write An End-Title Song For The Movie," She Told Mtv News, "And I Was Like, 'I Know Exactly What I Want To Say.' I Was Really Kind Of Dying To Write Another Song At That Point. I Didn't Want To Wait Until I Did A Whole New Record, And It's Kind Of The Perfect Last Word Of Me At This Moment."
The Video Was Directed By Lance Drake And Features A Fairy Tale Storyline, Which References Some Of Perry's Previous Visuals. "It's Kind Of Like The Labyrinth Of My Life In The Past Two Years," She Explained To Mtv News. "I Just Wanted To Tell A Story About Myself Kind Of Going Through This Journey, Maybe Sometimes Trying To Get Out Of The Maze. There's Good Parts And Bad Parts."
