I can usually drink you right off of my mind
But I miss you tonight.
I can normally push you right out of my heart
But I'm too tired to fight
But I miss you tonight.
I can normally push you right out of my heart
But I'm too tired to fight
Yeah the whole thing begins
And I let you sink into my veins
And I feel the pain like it's new
Everything that we were,
Everything that you said,
Everything that I did and that I couldn't do
Plays through tonight
And I let you sink into my veins
And I feel the pain like it's new
Everything that we were,
Everything that you said,
Everything that I did and that I couldn't do
Plays through tonight
Tonight your memory burns like a fire
With every word it grows higher and higher
I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love
I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back
Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
Come wake me up.
With every word it grows higher and higher
I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love
I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back
Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
Come wake me up.
Turn the TV up loud just to drown out your voice
But I can't forget
Now I'm all out of ideas
And baby I'm down to my last cigarette
But I can't forget
Now I'm all out of ideas
And baby I'm down to my last cigarette
Yeah you're probably asleep deep inside of your dreams
While I'm sitting here crying and trying to sleep
Yeah wherever you are baby now I am sure you've moved on
And aren't thinking twice about me and you tonight
While I'm sitting here crying and trying to sleep
Yeah wherever you are baby now I am sure you've moved on
And aren't thinking twice about me and you tonight
Tonight your memory burns like a fire
With everyone it grows higher and higher
I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love
I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back
Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
With everyone it grows higher and higher
I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love
I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back
Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
I know that you're movin' on
I know I should give you up
But I keep hopin' that you'll trip and fall back in love
I know I should give you up
But I keep hopin' that you'll trip and fall back in love
Time's not healin' anything
Baby this pain is worse than it ever was
I know that you can't hear me but baby I need you to save me tonight
Baby this pain is worse than it ever was
I know that you can't hear me but baby I need you to save me tonight
Tonight your memory burns like a fire
With everyone it grows higher and higher
I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love
I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back
Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
Come wake me up.
Oh I'm dreaming.
Come wake me up.
Oh, I'm dreaming.
With everyone it grows higher and higher
I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love
I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back
Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming
Come wake me up.
Oh I'm dreaming.
Come wake me up.
Oh, I'm dreaming.

About"Come Wake Me Up" is a song recorded by American country music group Rascal Flatts. It was released in May 2012 as the second single from their eighth studio album, Changed. The song was written by Johan Fransson, Tim Larsson, Tobias Lundgren and Sean McConnell. On November 7, a duet version with Swedish country/pop female singer, Jill Johnson was released on Johnson's album, A Woman Can Change Her Mind. The duet version was also released as a digital download internationally on November 16, 2012.
"Come Wake Me Up" debuted at number 59 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for the week of June 2, 2012. It also debuted at number 98 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart for the week of August 11, 2012. It also debuted at number 99 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart for the week of October 6, 2012.
"Come Wake Me Up" is about a man who has broken up with his lover. Affected by the emotions, he wishes that he were dreaming and asks that she awaken him.
The song is in a 6/8 time signature with an approximate tempo of 52 dotted quarter notes per minute. It is in the key of E major with a main chord pattern of EM7-C♯m7-EM7-C♯m7-A-B-G♯m-C♯m7-B on the verses.
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song four and a half stars out of five, calling it "another fine example of how this trio continues to work at a level few country artists are aware of." It also received a favoUrable review from Matt Bjorke of Roughstock, who wrote that it "fits well with their classic ballads while also having a slightly different sonic landscape to the past songs along with a return to more of their classic harmonies on the choruses." Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B+, calling it "an incredible lyric and a nuanced vocal performance" and "the best composition that Rascal Flatts has tackled since 'I'm Movin' On'", although he criticized its production.
The music video was directed by Shaun Silva and premiered on August 10, 2012. Guitarist Joe Don Rooney flexes his acting muscles in the clip as the video's dashing leading man, his first leading role in a video. A cameo from Rooney's real-life wife, Tiffany Fallon, as his gorgeous love interest gives the video a realistic angle. Two-time female street freestyle world champion Dena Sodano also lends her talents as Fallon's stunt double during the dramatic motorcycle scenes. "So I had this story unfolding, this moment of — here's a girl who really is just from a different world than what he's from," says video director Shaun Silva. "Joe Don's character is doing all the things anybody would want to do for someone they love, but it threatens her identity, until one night after an argument, she removes a necklace like breaking free from his lavish grasp. Her decision to leave, and his to chase after her, only pushes her further towards her foreshadowed fate."
