Wide Awake Lyrics

Cover art for Wide Awake lyrics by Katy Perry

Katy is experiencing the ever familiar burst of energy from the drug caffeine. This is apparent in the line, "I'm wide awake".

She really likes the feeling caffeine gives her, and doesn't want the high to end- "I am trying to hold on". She really doesn't want to drop the cup.

She is also exploring the idea of admiring her barista, as she loves the way he brews. "You made it so sweet".

This is a morning coffee run, of course. Perry, like all of us, closes her eyes as she sleeps. The coffee drink opens her eyes both literally and figuratively, as she tells the listener in the line, "But I'm not blind anymore". Because you're blind when you sleep! (Eyes closed).

Hope this helps! :) Source: I am Katy's barista
