Olhos abertos

Ontem à noite não conseguia dormir, o meu vizinho de cima lembrou-se de falar à brava e alto que se farta. Por muito que me tentasse acalmar, mudar de posição, colocar o pensamento nas ovelhinhas, contá-las, ou isso, pensar em coisas boas, estilo o pôr-do-sol no Mediterrâneo ou as ondinhas do mesmo mar, um prato cheio de pasteis de nata ou uma taça de gelado de pistácio, brownies e doce de leite, nenhuma destas maravilhas estava a dar resultado, cada vez estava mais aborrecida, e eu sou uma pessoinha que não consegue dormir se estiver aborrecida. Nestes casos, que infelizmente não são tão raros como eu gostaria, a estratégia é ligar o rádio-despertador no modo sleep para ver se me deixo embalar pela música, que essa sim, embala-me, contrariamente à voz do malfadado vizinho. Só que... Por uma casualidade engraçada, a música que estava a dar era... I'm wide awake, Katy Perry.

Wide Awake, Katy Perry

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong?

I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
I picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself, no

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Out of the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end

I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

Falling from cloud 9
It was out of the blue, I'm
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm
I'm falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling (I'm wide awake)
I am trying to hold on (I'm wide awake)
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side (I'm wide awake)
But I'm not blind anymore
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake

Yeah, I'm falling from cloud 9
It was out of the blue, I'm
Crashing from the high
You know I'm letting go tonight
Yeah, I'm letting you go, I'm
I'm falling from cloud 9
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
