about

This is a cover of Wake Me Up written by Ed Sheeran.

I really liked the simplicity and personal vibe of the original song. This message to the woman he loves is so beautiful and honest, and someday I'd like to have my own version of this story. Until then, this will have to do.

lyrics

I should ink my skin with your name
and take my passport out again then just replace it
see I could do without a tan on my left hand
where my fourth finger meets my knuckle
and I should run you a hot bath
and fill it up with bubbles

Maybe you're lovable
and maybe you're my snow flake
when your eyes turn from green to grey I'll
hold you in a cold place
and you should never have cut your hair
'cause I love the way you flick it off your shoulder

and you will never know just how beautiful you are to me

and would you ever feel guilty
if you did the same for me
would you make me a cup of tea
to open my eyes in the right way
and I know you love Shrek
'cause we watched it twelve times
maybe you're hoping for a fairytale too
and if your DVD breaks today
we shoulda got a VCR
'cause I've never owned a Blu-Ray true say
now I've always been shit at computer games
and your brother always beats me
and if I lost I'd go across and chuck all the controllers at the TV
and then you'd laugh at me and be asking me
if I'm gonna be home next week
and then you'd lie with me 'til I fall asleep
and flutter eyelashes on my cheek between the sheets

and you will never know just how beautiful you are to me
but maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up

I think you hate the smell of smoke
you always tried to get me to stop
you drink as much as me and I get drunk a lot
so I'll take you to the beach and walk along the sand
and I'll make you a heart pendant with a pebble held in my hand
I'll carve it like a necklace
so the heart falls where your chest is
now a piece of me is a piece of the beach
and it falls just where it needs to be and rests
peacefully
so you just have to breath to feel my heart against yours now
against yours now

and you will never know just how beautiful you are to me
you will never know just how beautiful you are to me
maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up
maybe I'm just in love when you wake me up woah
maybe I fell in love when you woke me up
