Wake Up Love

by Melanie Penn

My love is buried underground
A hidden landmine
When you're near, a wire's wound around
My heart tight

The weight of words as of yet unsaid
Guarded well and strong as death
I know I never know what to say
What to do or who to be
Or how to change

But this I know
I'm up in flames
Oh, I've gone up in flames

And I can feel it flashing like a fire
Bright and jealous in desire
But I won't wake up love
I won't wake up love

My love is written in the sky
An airplane's ramblings
The day's clear, my love is spelled in white
Clouds of writing

And I know you may not be ready yet
Guarded well and strong as death
I know you never know what to think
Or why you feel how you do
And who's to blame

But this I know
I won't go away
Oh, I'll never go away

I don't know a river that'll drown
Or dry it up but when it's sleeping sound
I won't wake up love
I won't wake up love

How do you wake up love?
