Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, his after moan though cries, oh, no
He's buildin' up a shine but he take it slow
And he knows it's time to make a change here
In time to get away
And he knows it's time for all the wrong reasons, oh
Time to end the pain
[Verse 2]
But he sleep all, we sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over
Why don't we sleep all, we sleep all day?
Sleep all, we sleep all day over
[Verse 3]
She said, "What would your mother think of all this?
How would your father react?
Oh, would he take it all back, what they've done?"
No way, they said, "Take it, take it" and he said
"Make it with your own two hands"
That was my old man and he said
"If all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it"
[Verse 4]
Oh, what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie
Oh, recallin' of the while we used to drive and drive
Here and there, goin' nowhere but for us
Nowhere but the two of us
And we knew it was time to take a chance here
And time to compromise our lives just a little while
And it was time for all the wrong and lonely, lonesome reasons
But time is often on my side, but I give it to you tonight
[Verse 5]
And we sleep all, we sleep all day
Sleep all, we sleep all day over
Why don't we sleep all, we sleep all day?
We sleep all day, we sleep all day over
And over, over, and over again
[Verse 6]
And as the time goes by we get a little bit tired of wakin' and baked
Another Marlboro mile wide
It's sendin' the boy's on the run in the time, in the hot summer sun
To swim beneath over outside, still they're readin' between the lines
But they remember the part in the Hallmark card
Where they read about the dreams
And the reachin' for the stars to hold on a little bit closer to
[Verse 7]
Say they knew it was time, time to take, take love
Time to take a chance here
Time to compromise, to occupy their lives
And it was time for all the wrong reasons, oh
But oh, time is often on my side
But I give it to you, oh, boy
[Verse 8]
Sleep all, we sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over
Ok, so why don't we, sleep all, we sleep all day?
Sleep all, we sleep all day over, and over
[Verse 9]
She said, "What, oh, what did your mother think of all this?
How would your father react?" oh, Lord
"Would he take it all back, what they've done?"
No way, they said, "Take it, take it, take it"
He said, "Make it, don't break it with your own two hands"
See that was my old man, and he said
"If all is grounded, you should go make a mountain out of it"
[Verse 10]
Love go make a mountain, go on, and on, and on, and on
But you should go on, make a mountain out of it
And hey, love, go on, and go on, and go on, and go on
And make a mountain, go on and make a mountain
Go on, oh, you should go on and make a mountain out of it
