I could tell you about dreaming of my life getting carried away
I could tell you about my dreams of falling down
All the people in my head keep screaming
"It's time to make it in the real world"
Should I give it all up and settle down?
I could tell you about my ceiling
While my thoughts keep me awake
I could tell you about my nightmares
And how I never want to sleep again
Wake me up
Life only dreaming is just not enough
Dreams are wasted if they stay the same
Wake me up
You've got to fight so that when life gets tough
You make the change
Wake me, wake me, wake me
Just wake me up
Wake me, wake me, wake me
Just wake me up
I've been thinking about my feelings
And what it means to be alive
I think I haven't quite figured all that out
I've gotta run away just so I can breathe again
And to keep from fallin' apart
This life, nothing ever slows down
I should be moving and shaking
But I never really learned to dance
I've been thinking about the sunrise
And how I really want to sleep again
Wake me up
Life only dreaming is just not enough
Dreams are wasted if they stay the same
Wake me up
You've gotta fight so that when life gets tough
You make the change
Wake me, wake me, wake me
Just wake me up
Wake me, wake me, wake me
Just wake me up
I'd rather one right word than books of empty phrases
But I'm the one with pen in hand
The word is the page
Wake me up
Life only dreaming is just not enough
Dreams are wasted if they stay the same
Wake me up
You've gotta fight so that when life gets tough
You make the change
Wake me, wake me, wake me
Just wake me up
Wake me, wake me, wake me
Just wake me up
Wake me, wake me, wake me
Just wake me up
Wake me, wake me, wake me
Just wake me up
