Districts, The - If Before I Wake Lyrics






Thunder woke me up, it was storming in the city
I was suddenly wide awake
Sitting in the darkness but my eyes, they had adjusted
I was on my own, on my own

I still find it scary, lightning sure could start a fire
Brick and mortar, might not survive
Would you start to miss me, would you start to miss me
Or am I all alone?
No, I'm just a narcissist

Too blessed to be depressed, thank Jesus
God I'm bending over, love me
I'll let you take my sins out on me
I'll be your ever-after, honey

Thunder woke me up, it was storming in the city
I was suddenly wide awake
Sitting in the darkness but my eyes, they had adjusted
I was on my own, on my own

I still find it scary, lightning sure could start a fire
Brick and mortar, might not survive
Would you start to miss me, would you start to miss me
Or am I all alone?
No, I'm just a narcissist
I'm just a narcissist

    Honestly this is a masterpiece, the video and song is just so perfect and mix even better together!

    A.... ....

    I agree. I thought so the moment I heard just a clip of it, never even knowing if this band prior. I know music tastes vary widely, but I can’t figure out why I am the only person I know who thinks this is perfection. I show it to people with enthusiasm, naively thinking they will have a similar reaction, and it has never happened. A few eye rolls though, as if they think the song is meant to be a joke. ITS ALMOST ALL ONE NOTE; ITS BRILLIANT!

  35. R.... ....

    So great.

    This band can do no wrong.

    Thunder woke me up, it was storming in the city
    I was suddenly wide awake
    Sittin' in the darkness but my eyes they had adjusted
    I was on my own, on my own

    I should find it scary, lighting show could start a fire
    Brick and mortar might not survive
    Would you start to miss me, would you start to miss me?
    Or am I all alone? No
    I'm just a narcissist

    Too blessed to be depressed, thank Jesus
    God, I'm bending over, love me
    I'll let you take my sins out on me
    I'll be your ever after honey

    Thunder woke me up, it was storming in the city
    I was suddenly wide awake
    Sittin' in the darkness but my eyes they had adjusted
    I was on my own, on my own

    I should find it scary, lighting show could start a fire
    Brick and mortar might not survive
    Would you start to miss me, would you start to miss me?
    Or am I all alone? No
    I'm just a narcissist
    I'm just a narcissist

  41. S.... ....

    THIS IS SO GOOD

  42. S.... ....
