Love & Mercy Lyrics

Wake me up.
It feels like I've been sleeping since New Years day,
Dreaming my life away.
Please try to understand if you think I've changed.
And all my friends they say I waste too much time staring out of windows in airplanes.
No no I won't take the aisle seat.

Just take me away with blood and bravery.
I am the ever green that breaks the storm.
Sing hallelujah I sold my soul to the darkening.

Just tell me why do I keep myself when I know I'm still walking blind.
I'll just keep myself in bed.
And I'm the only fool that runs away from anything thats good for me,
But don't you dare keep in your prayers.

Just take me away with blood and bravery.
I am the ever green that breaks the storm.
Sing hallelujah I sold my soul to the darkening.

Happy New Year, hope I make it through.
Happy New Year, hope to see you soon.

Just take me away with blood and bravery.
I am the ever green that breaks the storm.
Sing hallelujah I sold my soul to the darkening.

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.

wow. just...wow. no comments? this song has amazing rhythm. the lyrics are kind of foggy though. he sounds depressed. maybe he gets lost in "fantasy land" too much and neglects his friends.

this is an AMAZING song, one of my favs off the album.

ok, to me this song is about a person who lost the battle on whether to give up or keep trying. ("sold my soul to the darkening" allusion to cue the sun when he says "please don't think i plan to lose to the night")

so he's given up and he's still crying out to his friends to understand that he hasn't really given up on life, but he just couldnt fight anymore. and that now he's scared to try again. he doesn't want to lose out on anything, and the fear of doing so is keeping him from trying at all. ("only fool that runs away from anything thats good for me") and he doesnt want to be kept in prayers...he wants somone to actually DO something about it and help him.

just what i think.
