## Lyrics

### Sia's version

[Intro: Foxes]
I can feel it
I can feel it coming
I can feel it
I can feel it coming

[Verse 1]
Moon, earth and the ocean
I walked a lonely path
Yeah, I was waiting for you
I prayed you would come soon
Our hearts were the lowest they had ever been (?)
I search the world for your light
I was losing my fight

[Pre-Chorus]
But I held on for just no one, I held on
I could feel something coming
I struggle not to lose hope
Then wash over me all your love, by your love
Two lonely hearts becoming one

[Chorus]
I've been asleep for my whole life
A bad dream, but I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight
I walked the streets like I had died
Now look at me, I'm finally alive
I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight

[Post-Chorus: Foxes]
I can feel it, I can feel it coming
I can feel it, I can feel it coming
I can feel it, I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming, I can feel it coming

[Verse 2]
Now electricity is running through my veins
I feel my love light the room
I was lost without you

[Pre-Chorus]
But I held on for just no one, I held on
I could feel something coming
I struggle not to lose hope
Then wash over me all your love, by your love
Two lonely hearts becoming one

[Chorus]
I've been asleep for my whole life
A bad dream, but I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight
I walked the streets like I had died
Now look at me, I'm finally alive
But I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight

[Post-Chorus: Foxes]
I can feel it, I can feel it coming
I can feel it, I can feel it coming
I can feel it, I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming, I can feel it coming

[Outro]
Ohh, ohh
I'm awake tonight
Ohh, ohh
I'm awake tonight

### Foxes' version

[Verse 1]
Moon, earth and the ocean
I walked a lonely path
Yeah, I was waiting for you
I prayed you would come soon
Our hearts were the lowest they had ever been (?)
I search the world for light
I was losing my fight

[Pre-Chorus]
But I held on for this long, I held on
I could feel something coming
Struggling not to lose hope
Then wash over me all your love, by your love
Two lonely hearts become one

[Chorus]
I've been asleep for my whole life
A bad dream, but I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight
I walked the streets like I had died
Now look at me, I'm finally alive
I'm awake tonight, I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight, I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight, I'm awake tonight

[Verse 2]
But I held on for this long, I held on
I could feel something coming
Struggling not to lose hope
Then wash over me all your love, by your love
Two lonely hearts become one

[Pre-Chorus]
But I held on for just no one, I held on
I could feel something coming
I struggle not to lose hope
Then wash over me all your love, by your love
Two lonely hearts becoming one

[Chorus]
I've been asleep for my whole life
A bad dream, but I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight
I walked the streets like I had died
Now look at me, I'm finally alive
I'm awake tonight, I'm awake tonight
I walked the streets like I had died
Now look at me, I'm finally alive
I'm awake tonight, I'm awake tonight

[Outro]
Ohh, ohh
I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight
Ohh, ohh
I'm awake tonight
I'm awake tonight
