I wake up and I am tired
so I lie in bed and stretch
'cause I don't wanna rush this day along.
I breathe deeply as I lie there,
sleep still holds me on the mattress,
my eyes struggle as I try to start my day.
I sit up but I sit crooked,
I sit crooked on the edge of the bed that holds the warmth from where I slept.
I stumble out of focus to the bathroom where I lean before the toilet that I'll clean when I'm awake.
I mutter neath the water as I sputter and I wonder how I got up outa bed and in the shower.
Back in bed I end up lying, let my blankets do the drying, I lie naked, I lie sleeping once again.
CHORUS:
Oh, I just wanna sleep forever.
Yes, I just wanna sleep forever.
Wake me when it's time to die.
Do you love me? Yes, I love you. Can you show me? Yes, I can, but will you show me in a way that I'll believe?
I've been hurt and I've been loved but I don't need that anymore all I need is what I've got and nothing else.
I'm too dumb for you to fool me, I'm too old to play your games.
If you wanna lie beside me that's your choice.
But I warn you not to touch me, there's a chance that you might wake me and I'd rather be alone inside my head.
CHORUS
I'm awake now and I'm listening to the voice inside my head that says I've gotta make the most of every day.
So I stand before the mirror and I note my imperfections.
I get dressed, I comb my hair - I'm out the door.
A couple cappuccinos and an hour in the sunshine and I've finally grown accustomed to today.
But it's too late to go to sleep I'll have to wait to live the dream 'cause the reaper makes me live another day.
Oh, I just wanna sleep forever.
Yes, I just wanna live forever.
Wake me when it's time to die.
Back in bed I end up lying, let my blankets do the drying, I lie naked, I lie sleeping...once again...
Yes, I just wanna sleep... forever.
so I lie in bed and stretch
'cause I don't wanna rush this day along.
I breathe deeply as I lie there,
sleep still holds me on the mattress,
my eyes struggle as I try to start my day.
I sit up but I sit crooked,
I sit crooked on the edge of the bed that holds the warmth from where I slept.
I stumble out of focus to the bathroom where I lean before the toilet that I'll clean when I'm awake.
