Wake up Older Lyrics
Slept in my makeup
didn't get my teeth brushed
Crashed on the couch
and now my mouth tastes like yesterdays news
well, hello Jim Beam
oh the places you've seen
if only you could talk
you'd tell me why he walked out on me and you
(chorus)
oh the things lovers do when it's over
oh the things lovers do when it's done
find a cool bottle or a warm shoulder
wake up older
try to move on
I drove around last night
thinkin' bout our last fight
I cruised by your house and
all the lights were out
and you were gone
so I found me a stranger
well there's comfort in danger
but I thought about you
the whole time we
were gettin it on
(chorus)
oh the things lovers do when it's over
oh the things lovers do when it's done
find a cool bottle or a warm shoulder
wake up older
try to move on
find a cool bottle
or a warm shoulder
wake up older
wake up older
slept in my makeup
didn't get my teeth brushed
crashed on the couch
now my mouth tastes like yesterdays news...
didn't get my teeth brushed
Crashed on the couch
and now my mouth tastes like yesterdays news
oh the places you've seen
if only you could talk
you'd tell me why he walked out on me and you
oh the things lovers do when it's over
oh the things lovers do when it's done
find a cool bottle or a warm shoulder
wake up older
try to move on
thinkin' bout our last fight
I cruised by your house and
all the lights were out
and you were gone
well there's comfort in danger
but I thought about you
the whole time we
were gettin it on
oh the things lovers do when it's over
oh the things lovers do when it's done
find a cool bottle or a warm shoulder
wake up older
try to move on
or a warm shoulder
wake up older
wake up older
didn't get my teeth brushed
crashed on the couch
now my mouth tastes like yesterdays news...

I love this song. I think the way you can hear the pain in her voice is soo pretty.
This song really is a great coming of age song I think. You love, you hurt and then next day you wake up older and move on.
Woo Fuckn' great song!!
This song is about using a one night stand to get over a recent break up. That would be the "stranger." But I love how she is hurt by this as well, and says that this causes you to "wake up older." I love this song so much.
