Discover the story of the song > Wake Me Up Acoustic – Aloe Blacc

The protagonist in the song is going through life, not really knowing where he's going. People tell him he's young and doesn't understand things, but he doesn't mind that. He wants someone to wake him up when everything is finished, when he's learned more and gotten older. During this time, he was actually figuring out who he is, but he didn't realize he was lost. He wishes he could stay young forever and not be afraid to take risks. Life is like a game and love is the reward. So in the end, he wants to be woken up when everything is done and he's wiser, because he didn't know he was lost.
