Capital Kings - Don't Wanna Wake Up Lyrics
Lyrics
Stuck in the dream, so I'll keep sleeping
So now my feel? no pain at all
So let's just free fall off the deep end
One night, one chance, let's go
So can we take just a moment?
Can we take just a moment?
With you right next to me
So can we take just a moment?
Can we live in the moment?
Right now, you're all that I need
I don't wanna wake up, up, up, up, up
Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up, up, up, up, up
Don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
Oh, oh no no, oh no
Like runaways, we'll be together
I'll follow you into the dark
You pull me in and take me deeper
I never want it to stop
So can we take just a moment?
Can we take just a moment?
With you is where I wanna be
So can we take just a moment?
Can we live in the moment?
Oh I'm not ready to leave
I don't wanna wake up, up, up, up, up
Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up, up, up, up, up
Don't wanna wake up
I don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up
Don't wanna wake up

Meaning & Inspiration
Capital Kings' 2017 single, "Don't Wanna Wake Up," released on July 28th, delves into a profound desire to remain immersed in a divinely inspired state, a longing that resonates deeply with the spiritual journey. The song's core message speaks to the experience of encountering God in a way that makes the mundane world seem pale in comparison, fostering a yearning to stay connected to that sacred presence. This sentiment echoes the psalmist's declaration in Psalm 84:10, "For a day in your courts is better than a thousand days elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness." The inability to "wake up" isn't a literal rejection of reality, but rather an unwillingness to return to a state of spiritual dormancy after experiencing divine illumination. It’s akin to the disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration, who, witnessing Christ's glory, wished to build tents and remain in that heavenly encounter (Matthew 17:4). The song captures this desire to linger in the warmth of God's presence, to savor the revelation that transforms perception. This is a state of being fully awake to God's love and truth, a truth that makes every other aspiration seem secondary. The feeling of not wanting to wake up is the natural inclination of a soul that has tasted the goodness of the Lord, as described in Psalm 34:8, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!" It's an invitation to embrace a life lived in continuous communion, a testament to the transformative power of encountering the divine, leaving one utterly content to remain in that sacred space, where spiritual reality eclipses all else.
