Make Believe

I set a watch for 5 O'clock

I think of trees and rivers as I'm drifting off

I pinch my wrist (Just to tell where I am)

I get a twinge (Seems as real as it can)

But I remain and so I know the rest is up to me

At night the sunlight beats upon my skin

In here I see everything

And until the morning comes

I feel it

All my life, I tried to

Find the time to make believe

But now as certain as the seasons

I know real life will get in between

If I never get to decide my reality

At least I see how it could be when

I get 'round to sleeping (Sleeping)

Dreaming (Dreaming)

Works for me

And though my soul (Let's me do what I want)

It's pretty bold (In a place I belong)

From time to time, my grip will slip

And I just lose control

Then awake, I freeze

But nothing in my head can hurt me

However real it seems

All my life, I tried to

Find the time to make believe

But now as certain as the seasons

I know real life will get in between

If I never get to decide my reality

At least I see how it could be when

I get round to sleeping

Dreaming

Get 'round to sleeping

Dreaming, oh
