The Four Postmen
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I wake up and I am tired
2
So I lie in bed and stretch
3
Cause I don't want to rush this day along
4
I breathe deeply as I lie there
5
Sleep still holds me on the mattress
6
I struggle as I try to stop my date
7
I sit up, but I sit crooked
8
I sit crooked on the edge of the bed
9
That holds the warmth from where I slept
10
I stumble out of focus to the bathroom
11
Where I lean before the toilet
12
That I'll clean when I'm awake
13
Oh, I'm underneath the water
14
As I sputter, and I wonder
15
How I got up out of bed and in the shower
16
Back in bed I end up lying
17
Let my blankets do the drying
18
I lie naked, I lie sleeping, once again
19
I just wanna sleep forever
20
Yes, I just wanna sleep forever
21
Wake me when it's time to die
22
Do you love me? Yes, I love you
23
Can you show me? Yes, I can
24
But will you show me in a way that I'll believe?
25
I've been hurt, and I've been left
26
And I don't need that anymore
27
All I need is what I've got and nothing else
28
I'm too dumb for you to fool me
29
I'm too old to play your games
30
If you wanna lie beside me that's your choice
31
But I warn you not to touch me,
32
There's a chance that you might wake me
33
And I'd rather be alone inside my head
34
Oh, I just wanna sleep forever
35
Yes, I just wanna sleep forever
36
Wake me when it's time to die
37
I'm awake now and I'm listening
38
To the voice inside my head
39
That says I've gotta make the most of every day
40
So I stand before the mirror,
41
And I note my imperfections
42
I get dressed, I comb my hair, I'm out the door
43
A couple cappucinos
44
and an hour in the sunshine
45
And I finally grow accustomed to the day
46
But it's too late to go to sleep
47
I'll have to wait til I can dream
48
'Cause the reaper makes me live another day
49
Oh, I just wanna sleep forever
50
Yes, I just wanna live forever
51
Wake me when it's time to die
52
Back in bed I end up lying
53
Let my blankets do the drying
54
I lie naked, I lie sleeping, once again
55
Yes, I just wanna sleep forever
56
Yes, I just wanna sleep (x4)
57
Yes, I just wanna sleep forever
