By the time
(Chorus)Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake upNo, don't wake me upDon't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake upNo, don't wake me up
It's the early mornLights flick onSleepy eyes peek through the blindsAt something wrongMotionless remains the messShameSuch a beautiful, beautiful young life
By the time I'm dreamingAnd you've crept out on me sleepingI'm busy in the blissful unawareBy the time I'm dreamingAnd you've crept out on me sleepingTell me how am I supposed to care?
(Chorus)
A trail of clothes two years oldWhy did you have to go and leave all this stuff behind?Wasn't I allowed three strikes and out?No, but you said I could, said I could just one night
By the time I'm dreamingAnd you've crept out on me sleepingI'm busy in the blissful unawareBy the time I'm dreamingAnd you've crept out on me sleepingTell me how am I supposed to care?
If I had let you go, let you goWould this be different, different?Now I’ll never know, never knowI didn't get the chance, damn youIf I had let you go, let you goWould this be different, different?Now I’ll never know, never knowI didn't get the chance, damn you
By the time I'm dreamingAnd you've crept out on me sleepingI'm busy in the blissful unawareBy the time I'm dreamingAnd you've crept out on me sleepingTell me how am I supposed to care?
(Chorus x2)
