Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough I guess
Considering everything's a mess
[Verse 2]
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside
[Verse 3]
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time is the way I rhyme, gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size
Might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for
[Verse 4]
It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
[Verse 5]
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon
[Verse 6]
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone (Pinch me)
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn (Pinch me)
When you try to see the world beyond your front door (I'm still asleep)
Take your time is the way I rhyme, gonna make you smile (Please, God)
When you realize that a guy my size (Tell me)
Might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for (I'm still asleep)
[Verse 7]
Pinch me
Pinch me
'Cause I'm still asleep
Please, God
Tell me
That I'm still asleep
[Verse 8]
On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
Packed a car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
[Verse 9]
I could hide out under there
I just made you say underwear
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway
[Verse 10]
Like a dream you try to remember but it's gone (Pinch me)
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn (Pinch me)
When you try to see the world beyond your front door (I'm still asleep)
Take your time is the way I rhyme, gonna make you smile (Please, God)
When you realize that a guy my size (Tell me)
Might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for (I'm still asleep)
Try to figure out what all this is for (I'm still asleep)
Try to see the world beyond your front door (I'm still asleep)
Try to figure out what all this is for (I'm still asleep)
