Coheed & Cambria Wake Up Lyrics

I'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again
I wish that I could stay, but you argue
More than this I wish, you could've seen my face
In backseat staring out, the window

I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

I've earned through hope and faith
On the curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold forever
If morning never comes for either one of us
Then this I pray to you wherever

I'll do anything for you
This story is for you
'Cause I'd do anything you want me to for you
Kill anyone for you

So leave yourself intact
'Cause I won't be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I loved you

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up

The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
'Til you decide to wake up

Wake Up
Claudio Sanchez: "Its a love song. You get a history of the Writer, that he'd have done anything for this person who went on to do this horrible thing to him."

Fitting with the sporadic, dysfunctional organization of the album, even during his torment and plotting, Writer reflects on the love he had for Erica and all of the things he would've done for her. He dwells on the past, thinking of Erica fondly, despite his belief of her infidelity (it is unclear in the graphic novel whether or not Erica truly cheated on him). Writer has somewhat of a split personality now, half that feels guilt, loss and love, and half that feels anger, betrayal and revenge.
