Gavin James - Boxes - Official Lyric Video (Don't Wake Me Up)
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Went to the wrong school
Wearing the wrong shoes
They told me that I should sit down and just bite my tongue
'Cause if you're lucky
You'll get to university
Say three Hail Marys and everything bad will be gone
[Verse 2]
But I'm so tired of standing still
And I'm not buying what you're trying to sell
[Verse 3]
So don't wake me up
If you're only going to tell me to give it up
Then say everything I do is never enough
'Cause you're lying through your teeth
We don't fit into your boxes
We're all different underneath
Don't wake me up
[Verse 4]
When I got my first guitar
My father told me, "Son
Four chords is all you need to show people just who you are"
So I played to strangers
Down by the backstreets
And every time they caught me dreaming, I'd say
[Verse 5]
Don't wake me up
If you're only going to tell me to give it up
Then say everything I do is never enough
'Cause you're lying through your teeth
We don't fit into your boxes
We're all different underneath
Don't wake me up
Well, don't wake me up
[Verse 6]
'Cause I'm so tired of standing still
And I'm not buying what you're trying to sell
So don't wake me up
[Verse 7]
Oh, don't wake me up
If you're only going to tell me to give it up
Then say everything I do is never enough
'Cause you're lying through your teeth
We don't fit into your boxes
We're all different underneath
Don't wake me up
[Verse 8]
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
