lyrics

(wake me up there)

I made this in a room in Stockholm with the curtains shut
And forty thousand people are going to jump to it in June
And I will be side of stage with a hood up, counting hours
Until I can be back in the room with the curtains shut

Everybody thinks the joy in it is a report
Like I made it because I was feeling it
I made it because I was not, that is what it is for

(no words, just the melody, enormous)
(second time, higher)

My mother asks if I am eating and I send her a photo of a plate
I take the photo of the plate before I decide not to eat it

(the melody, enormous, festival scale)

(wake me up there)
