Avicii – Wake Me Up Lyrics 11 years ago
The key lyric is "Life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes/Well that's fine by me".

This song is a song of surrender. The singer has been beaten down by life ("I tried carrying the weight of the world/But I only have two hands") and is afraid of growing old and senile, but not old and wise ("I wish that I could stay forever this young").

The whole thing is a desire to go to sleep and never wake up again. To let the sorrows of life pass by during sleep and let morning rush in.
