Way up high
When you tell me, you tell me not to cry
Did you understand I can't help it?
Did you understand I don't have a choice, 'cause
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you, oh, no
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't, I can't afford the truth
Sick
I'm sick honey
I don't, I don't got the money
Do you want a rain-check?
'Cause I can't give you what you need
No, I can't give you what you need
All by myself
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you, oh, no
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't, I can't afford the truth
Give me one more try
Before I fall apart, fall into the sky
I feel every inch, I feel it fold
Over myself, over you
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you, oh, no
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't, I can't afford the truth
I am bored
I am tired
And I, I'm gonna say to your heart
I don't know
I'm gonna find a way to your heart
And oh, I know
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you, oh, no
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't, I can't afford the truth
When you tell me, you tell me not to cry
Did you understand I can't help it?
Did you understand I don't have a choice, 'cause
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you, oh, no
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't, I can't afford the truth
Sick
I'm sick honey
I don't, I don't got the money
Do you want a rain-check?
'Cause I can't give you what you need
No, I can't give you what you need
All by myself
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you, oh, no
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't, I can't afford the truth
Give me one more try
Before I fall apart, fall into the sky
I feel every inch, I feel it fold
Over myself, over you
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you, oh, no
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't, I can't afford the truth
I am bored
I am tired
And I, I'm gonna say to your heart
I don't know
I'm gonna find a way to your heart
And oh, I know
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you, oh, no
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't, I can't afford the truth

Way up high
When you tell me not to cry
Did you understand I can't help it
Did you understand I don't have a choice
Do you wanna go?
Do you really know?
I don't ever stay away, for you
Do you wanna go?
Do you really know?
That I can't, I can't afford you
Say
"I'm staying honey"
and I don't, I don't got the money
Do you want a rain-check?
'Cause I can't give you what you need
No, I can't give you what you need,
All by myself
Do you wanna go?
Do you really know?
I don't ever stay away for you
Do you wanna go?
Do you really know?
That I can't, I can't afford you
Give me one more try
Before I fall apart, fall into the sky
I feel every inch, I feel it fold
Over myself, over you
Do you wanna go?
Do you really know?
I don't ever stay away for you
Do you wanna go?
Do you really know?
That I can't, I can't afford you
I am bored.
I am tired.
and I'm gonna set you right,
I'm gonna find the way to your heart
Do you wanna go?
Do you really know?
I don't ever stay away for you, oh no.
Do you wanna go?
Do you really know?
That I can't, I can't afford you.
Q_Q
At the end it's I, I I I I gonna set you right,
I'm gonna find a way to your heart.
HAHA so true gurl.
I've been wondering myself, the song is so melancholic and beautiful... drifts you away.
Hard to really interpret it without the exact lyrics which no1 seems to know, nowhere around the internet!
Sounds of someone that is losing grip of someone else, they know they are losing grip and they know what it takes to keep him\her, but they just can't afford it or unable to do it because of a reason that is external to them.
It could be about someone who's partner\family member has this horrible disease that costs a lot of money to treat\manage they can't afford, and they suffer a lot and want to let go, and it's killing the singer the feeling she doesn't have the money to keep up.... she is left alone, bored and tired.
It also could be about love obviously. One sided love it seems- the singer is inlove with someone who doesn't love her the same way (maybe it's a friend), probably a wealthy friend that's class is much higher, and they just come from difference places and she can't keep up with what it takes to live in the same lifestyle he does and so they can't connect.
Say,
I'm staying honey
And I don't, I don't got the money
(for sure, confirmed)
In the live version she also doesn't pronounce K in Awake so it sounds like she's saying "I don't stay away for you" but it's hard to tell
And also:
I can't afford YOU
it also fits better in the rest of the lyrics.... she pronounces it:
I can't affor - d'you
You can hear it clearly in the live versions she says I can't afford YOU, the best one is at the end of Blast House live version, she repeats it with no sounds.
plus, "(Need help on figuring out the lyrics here...???)" --> Give me one more try before I float on, oh, into the sky: I feel every inch of ???
and I'm gonna say to your heart
I don't know
I'm going to find the way to your heart
and oh I know
Way up high
When you tell me not to cry
Did you understand I can't help it
Did you understand I don't have a choice
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't afford the truth
Sick
I'm sick honey
I don't, I don't got the money
Do you want a rain-check
'Cause I can't give you what you need
All by myself
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't afford the truth
Give me one more try
Before I fall apart, fall into the sky
I feel every inch, I feel it fold
Over myself, over you
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
I don't ever stay awake for you
Do you wanna go
Do you really know
That I can't afford the truth
I am bored
And you tell me, you tell me not to cry.
Did you understand I can't help it?
Did you understand I don't have a choice?
Do you want to go?
Do you really know?
I don't ever stay away for you, oh no.
Do you want to go?
Do you really know that I can't, I can't afford you?
Stay.
I'm saving money.
And I know, I don't got the money.
You are no angel.
Because I can't give you what you need.
No, I can't give you what you need, all by myself.
Do you want to go?
Do you really know?
I don't ever stay away for you, oh no.
Do you want to go?
Do you really know that I can't, I can't afford you?
Give me one more try.
Before I float off, off into the sky.
I feel every inch, I feel... (???) of you.
Do you want to go?
Do you really know?
I don't ever stay away for you, oh no.
Do you want to go?
Do you really know that I can't, I can't afford you.
I am poor.
I am tired.
And I, I, I... I won't say that you're right, no no...
(???)
I know...
Do you want to go?
Do you really know?
I don't ever stay away for you, oh no.
Do you want to go?
Do you really know that I can't, I can't afford you.
