The Big Sleep Lyrics

You woke me from a big sleep
You taught me how to think cheap
You woke me from a big sleep
When you kissed me... oooohh
On the cheek

I don’t ever wanna sleep again
Now that I’ve found love
I don’t ever wanna sleep again
Now that I’ve found love

(I’ve found love)

As soon as someone showed me
There’s no such thing as glory
Changed my life completely
Now it’s a whole different story

I don’t ever wanna sleep again
Now that I’ve found love
I don’t ever wanna sleep again
Now that I’ve found real love

Oh in case you’re wondering if I been struck dumb
I’m cold inside and my heart is numb
In case you’re wondering if it’s too late
I won’t hibernate, whoah woohoo na na na na

I don’t have the strength to break an empty shell
And I surely don’t have the strength to mend it

Well,
I don’t ever wanna sleep again
Now that I’ve found love
I don’t ever wanna sleep again
Now that I’ve found love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
