Analysis of Wake Your House
Wake your scent
and pick the roses
Seed a land and start a crop
Fake your bent
and pick the poses
Heed a brand and start a swap
Wake your mind
and count the creases
Read a book and dream awhile
Make your find
and count the pieces
Lead a look and dream a style
Wake your house
and stir the coffee
Pall a trend and share a gaffe
Take your spouse
and stir the toffee
Call a friend and share a laugh
