This song is about those endless nights when sleep just won’t come 
when your mind keeps replaying someone who’s no longer there. I’m lying awake, staring at the ceiling, trying to silence the noise inside my head, but every little thing reminds me of them. It’s not just insomnia it’s that ache of missing someone so deeply that even your dreams feel haunted. I wanted the song to capture that late-night emptiness, the quiet between heartbeats, and the feeling of being wide awake in a world that’s still asleep.

Thanks to Matthew Avery (aka JustMatt) for helping me bring this song to life. You’re the best 🖤https://soundcloud.com/jvstmatt



🎵 Lyrics
(Verse 1)
It’s 3 a.m., my phone still glowing
Replay the words you left unspoken
Every echo burns inside my head
Your hoodie’s on the chair, still folded
Smells like you and I can’t hold it
Feels like you’re still lying in my bed

(Pre-Chorus)
Counting shadows on the ceiling
Every breath just hits the feeling
Wish I could turn my mind off too

(Chorus)
I’m wide awake without you
Can’t shut down this heart, it’s see-through
Every time I close my eyes, I find you
Stuck between the night and truth
Oh, I’m wide awake without you
These dreams don’t know what to do

(Verse 2)
Clock keeps ticking, I keep pacing
Half-asleep, my heart still racing
Every sound reminds me you’re not here
Tried white noise, but it’s your laughter
Playing softly in the after
Silence cuts the loudest when it’s near

(Pre-Chorus)
Counting shadows on the ceiling
Every breath just hits the feeling
Wish I could turn my mind off too

(Chorus)
I’m wide awake without you
Can’t shut down this heart, it’s see-through
Every time I close my eyes, I find you
Stuck between the night and truth
Oh, I’m wide awake without you
These dreams don’t know what to do

(Bridge)
Every sleepless night feels longer
Your ghost just keeps getting stronger
I keep reaching for a fading touch
And it hurts too much

(Chorus – final)
I’m wide awake without you
Can’t shut down this heart, it’s see-through
Every time I close my eyes, I find you
Stuck between the night and truth
Oh, I’m wide awake without you
And I don’t know what to do

(Outro)
Lights off, but I still see you
Wide awake without you

Wide Awake Without You Nada Samir ft. Matthew Avery

I’m just a chill dude who loves creating music and honest sounds.
Social media’s pointless to me 
that’s why I don’t have it and don’t need it.
I’m not chasing fame.
I’m chasing feeling. 🌌

Detroit raised.
Family made.
Heart first.

If you vibe with real stories, soft vocals, and music that feels like late-night honesty welcome.
