Wake Me When It's Over Lyrics

This truth has buried its fire
Deep into your kiss
Burning clean everything.
Burning clean everything.

My honour holds the ashes
As the light exposes
The regret in my eyes.
The regret in my eyes…

The sky embraces the flames
A phoenix reborn.

Let it hold your heart
I will never leave your side.
Let it hold your heart
I will never leave your side.
Your side…

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.

"The truth has buried it's fire deep into your kiss, burning clean everything." It's so powerfully worded. With a passionate kiss, all is forgiven and the wrong is erased between the two. The one who holds the kiss rekindles the their love and forgives the narrator. He knows that she had to swallow her pride (ashes). Their love is a phoenix reborn, and he asks that the strength of its fire hold the heart of his lover so that she will not get hurt again.
