Lyrics When a Heart Wakes Up - Adam Watts

When a Heart Wakes Up

You hear the sound of a knocking at the door
In the middle of the night, in that room below the floor
You feel the shaking of the bedrock underneath
Every fake smile, every lie, where that beat up monster sleeps
I’ll set the table and wait
This hunger hits like a tidal wave
I’ll let it rush through every window and get ready for the flood
'Cause this is what happens when a heart wakes up
You’ll love how it hurts, as you’re swimming in the pain
Every ghost drowned in the water, of this sea of acid rain
This is the story of how every soul that chose to love
Every son, every daughter, that’s felt the push, and the pull, and the shove
I’ll set the table and wait
This hunger hits like a tidal wave
I’ll let it rush through every window and get ready for the flood
'Cause this is what happens when a heart wakes up
Nothing comes and nothing goes
In a clenched up heart the blood will never flow
We can pray are prayers and hope someone cares
But in the end it’s up to us
Like coming back from the dead when a heart wakes up
I’ll set the table and wait
This hunger hits like a tidal wave
I’ll let it rush through every window and get ready for the flood
'Cause this is what happens when a heart wakes up
This is what happens when a heart wakes up
