By The Time Lyrics

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
No, don't wake me up

It's the early morn'
lights flick on
sleepy eyes peek through the blinds
at something wrong
Motionless remains the mess
Shame, such a beautiful, beautiful young life

By the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
By the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
tell me how am I supposed to care

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up

A trail of clothes two years old
Why 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 dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
By the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
tell me how am I supposed to care

Would I let you go, let you go?
would this be different, different?
Now I'll never know, never know
I didn't get the chance damn you

Would I let you go, let you go?
would this be different, different?
Now I'll never know, never know
I didn't get the chance damn you

and by the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
I'm busy in the blissful unaware
and by the time I'm dreaming
and you've crept out on me sleeping
tell me how am I supposed to care

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,
no, don't wake me up
Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up
