Nena - Are You Awake? lyrics

A quarter after midnight I'm half-past out of reason Our bodies still entwined from making love While you're asleep I tell you what I'm thinking of In our apartment all the rooms Have taken on your personality The living room has overshadowed me I feel as restless as these bedroom sheets All my inhibitions disappear Suddenly the words escape And I make-believe you're listening I say: "Baby, are you awake?" My concentration flutters Like a candle's temperamental flame Can't talk to you, can't tell you Can't share this little hell with you You're slipping through my fingers I'm falling from your arm And when I whisper all the secrets that I keep You probably think I'm talking in my sleep All my inhibitions disappear Suddenly the words escape And I make-believe you're listening I say: "Baby, are you awake?" Baby, are you awake? You reach for me and call my name And softly breathe against my skin Your voice is echoing familiar sentences Ohh, you've been listening to every word I said All my inhibitions disappear Suddenly the words escape And I make-believe you're listening I say: "Baby, are you awake?" All my inhibitions disappear Suddenly the words escape And I make-believe you're listening I say: "Baby, are you awake?"
