Song Meaning
Tommee Profitt's trailer remix strips the familiar melody down to a searching, cinematic plea. The opening lines admit uncertainty about where the road leads while holding onto one fixed point: knowing where to begin. There's a wistful wish to stay young forever, to close your eyes without fear, paired with the plain-spoken claim that life is a game everyone plays and love is the prize. The chorus turns that restlessness into a prayer of sorts — asking to be woken when it's all over, when wisdom and age have arrived, and confessing that all along the search for self was happening without any awareness of being lost. The repeated "didn't know I was lost" lands less as regret and more as a quiet realization, the kind that arrives after the fact. The sparse, echoing production leaves room for that confession to sit, making the song feel like a late-night inventory of the soul rather than a triumphant anthem. It's a track about waking up to your own condition, and the strange comfort of finally naming it.

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
