Lyrics for “Wake Up Calling” ^[4]
Song by Papa Roach:

Intro
(Wake up calling)

Verse 1
Can’t shake these chains
It’s driving me crazy
Circle the drain
It’s the way that God made me
I’ve made mistakes
I’ve got no brakes
Maybe that’s why I’ve got you

Pre-Chorus
I’m back here again
Just like an old friend
Start where we left off in oblivion
It’s needles and pins
And I’m cavin’ in
But you’re my medicine

Chorus
I need you tonight to bring me back to life
You’re my wake up calling
Running out of time, staring at the signs
Will you break my fall? And
You take the burn, you take the blame
I’ll be the reason we go up in flames
I need you tonight, you’re my wake up calling

Verse 2
Your skin on my skin
I come to my senses
When I breathe you in
There’s something that’s missing

Pre-Chorus
I’m back here again
Just like an old friend
Start where we left off in oblivion
It’s needles and pins
And I’m cavin’ in
But you’re my medicine

Chorus
I need you tonight to bring me back to life
You’re my wake up calling
Running out of time, staring at the signs
Will you break my fall? And
You take the burn, you take the blame
I’ll be the reason we go up in flames
I need you tonight (I need you tonight)
You’re my wake up calling

Bridge
Shattering the hourglass
I’m scattered in the aftermath
Pieces of the past start to fall away
Nothing more than I can break
Promise me that you will stay, stay, stay

Interlude
I need you tonight to bring me back to life
You’re my wake up calling

Chorus
I need you tonight to bring me back to life (I need you tonight)
You’re my wake up calling
Running out of time, staring at the signs (Running out of time)
Will you break my fall? And
You take the burn, you take the blame
I’ll be the reason we go up in flames
I need you tonight (I need you tonight)
You’re my wake up calling
Wake up calling

Outro
(Wake up calling)
