I'm cold and so tired.
but not sleepy tired
spinning wheels tired
going nowhere tired
facing the reality tired
looking in the mirror tired
dust and clutter tired
Don't Wake me Up Just Yet
I'm not there just yet
Don't wake me Up Just yet
I'm not there
Not just yet
but if I stopped now
tell me what point that would serve
how many smiles I would see
how many hands would be offered to me
how many hungry would go on
being hungry
if I stopped now, if I stopped now
Don't Wake me Up Just Yet
I'm not there just yet
Don't wake me Up Just yet
I'm not there
Not just yet
if I stopped would I take the time
to find my children
and if I found them would I try and tell them
what it is that they mean to me
how it is I got this tired
and if I found them and I told them
would they hear me?
Don't Wake me Up Just Yet
I'm not there just yet
Don't wake me Up Just yet
I'm not there
Not just yet
there's an ache inside me
but it's not from any lack of food
it's a hunger for a life not lived
it's the anxiety of uncertainty
of wondering if it's too late
to make peace with the choices
I have made
years of self indulgence
years of living beyond my means
pretending to be something
I am not, nor have been, but could have,
but chose not, and so here I am
watching in horror as my children walk so willingly
down the path of self-destruction
if i slow down this is what I see
it's the reason I do not stop
it's the reason for all of this clutter
but I'm getting tired
and it's not for lack of sleep
it's from living in a dream.
Don't Wake me Up Just Yet
I'm not there just yet
Don't wake me Up Just yet
I'm not there
Not just yet
Don't Wake me Up Just Yet
I'm not there just yet
Don't wake me Up Just yet
I'm not there
Not just yet
I've got nothing better to do
than sit here dreaming of you
Nothing's better to do
than sit'n here and dreaming of you
I've got nothing better
Nothing Better
I've got Nothing Better
than you.
