Don’t Wake Me Up Lyrics by Mercer Henderson

Not Really Strangers

2024

[Verse 1]
We're on the train comin' back from Brooklyn, your hand in mine
Lookin' at the time like it's too late to go home alone
I could tell you wanted it at midnight but I'm just too scared
What happens after?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we're friends with the lights on
I know when the night's gone
We won't be anything more, so
[Chorus]
Hold me closer, know me
Like you do when we're sober
Like you will when we're over
You say you're just lonely, I'm your only
Good thing around
But you leavе without warnin', so
Don't wake me up, darlin'
Don't wake mе up in the mornin'
[Verse 2]
Wonder if I play it off as an accident
Did you wanna kiss me or did you know I'd kiss you back?
My chest is tight, my tongue is tied with lies and tryin' to pretend
Like I don't know
[Pre-Chorus]
That we're friends with the lights on
I know when the night's gone
We won't be anything more, so
[Chorus]
Hold me closer, know me
Like you do when we're sober
Like you will when we're over
You say you're just lonely, I'm your only
Good thing around
But you leave without warnin', so
Don't wake me up, darlin'
Don't wake me up in the mornin'
[Outro]
Friends with the lights on (Hold me)
I know when the night's gone (Closer)
We won't be anything (Lonely), we won't be anything (Only)
Friends with the lights on (Hold me)
I know when the night's gone (Know me)
We won't be anything, we won't be anything, no
Friends with the lights on (Hold me)
I know when the night's gone (Know me)
We won't be anything (Lonely), we won't be anything (Only)
Friends with the lights on (Hold me)
I know when the night's gone, we— (Know me)
Don't wake me up, darlin'
Don't wake me up in the mornin'
