Woke Up

The simplest of pleasures
The moments we treasure
The things we think matter
None of it quite measures up
The things I've been chasing
They've got me racing around
And I can't help thinking
There's something I still haven't found
'Cause I used to think we were happy
Then I woke up
Woke up
Now when I picture me happy
I get choked up
Choked up
And I think I might have been dreaming
Something I think I should be feeling
And I used to think this was happy
Then I woke up
Woke up
I'm searching for meaning
Trying to give purpose to feelings
I need to feel needed
Isn't that the same for all of us
I'm running in circles
Losing my mind twice a week
'Cause all of this purpose
Feels like someone else chose it for me
'Cause I used to think we were happy
Then I woke up
Woke up
Now when I picture me happy
I get choked up
Choked up
And I think I might have been dreaming
Something I think I should be feeling
And I used to think this was happy
Then I woke up
Woke up
'Cause we're just living ticking boxes
Watching ticking clocks
And waiting on some sign
That everything'll work out
We just have hold out
Standing in this line
I have all these questions
Trying to make some sense
Of how we do life
'Cause does this make us happy
Yes does this matter really
And I used to think we were happy
Then I woke up
Woke up
Now when I picture me happy
I get choked up
Choked up
And I used to think we were happy
Then I woke up
Woke up
Now when I picture me happy
I get choked up
Choked up
And I think I might have been dreaming
Something I think I should be feeling
And I used to think this was happy
Then I woke up
Woke up
