Holly Humberstone – Falling Asleep at the Wheel
Holly Humberstone is a 20-year-old British singer-songwriter whose reputation precedes her via several singles released earlier this year — which have garnered rave reviews, ranging from the New York Times to the BBC to the Lefsetz Letter — and a European tour opening for Lewis Capaldi just before the pandemic, during which she played to 12,000 people at London’s Wembley Arena.
Holly Humberstone Lyrics
“Falling Asleep At The Wheel”
Oh, you never smoked this much before we met
Light up, light up another cigarette
I can tell you’re drinking only to forget
Don’t know how I got you in such a mess
How am I supposed to be your ray of light, your ray of light?
I get dark sometimes, does it pass you by?
I should be your ray of light, your ray of light
But I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second you’re talking
But I’m just pretending you have my attention
I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we’re strong enough
Come on and wake me up
You never looked this tense before we met
Back up, back when we were so innocent
All this emotion that we’re buried in
Tied up, fired up on this adrenaline
How am I supposed to be your ray of light, your ray of light?
Not a cloud in sight, what a perfect night
I should be your ray of light, your ray of light
But that’s not me
And I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second you’re talking
But I’m just pretending you have my attention
I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we’re strong enough
Come on and wake me up
Wake me up
Come on and wake me up, come on and wake me up
If you think we’re strong enough, wake me up
And I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
Guess I forgot how to feel
Just for a second you’re talking
But I’m just pretending you have my attention
I’m falling, falling asleep at the wheel
I made you think it was real
If you think we’re strong enough
Come on and wake me up
Wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up
If you think we’re strong enough
Come on and wake me up
Wake me up, wake me up
Great
