On the album, "Pain Lies on the Riverside" and "Pillar of Davidson" were shortened due to time constraints.

The European release of Awake does not feature the songs "Pain Lies on the Riverside" and "Pillar of Davidson", but instead contains "They Stood Up for Love" (acoustic version) and "The Distance" between "Run to the Water" and "Dance With You."

Similarly, the Australian release contains "Rattlesnake" (following "Turn My Head") and "They Stood Up for Love" (following "Run to the Water"), also replacing "Pain Lies on the Riverside" and "Pillar of Davidson."
