By the Time lyrics

(Chorus)

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up

No, don't wake me up

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up

No, don't wake me up

It's the early morn

Lights flick on

Sleepy eyes peek through the blinds

At something wrong

Motionless remains the mess

Shame

Such a beautiful, beautiful young life

By the time I'm dreaming

And you've crept out on me sleeping

I'm busy in the blissful unaware

By the time I'm dreaming

And you've crept out on me sleeping

Tell me how am I supposed to care?

(Chorus)

A trail of clothes two years old

Why did you have to go and leave all this stuff behind?

Wasn't I allowed three strikes and out?

No, but you said I could, said I could just one night

By the time I'm dreaming

And you've crept out on me sleeping

I'm busy in the blissful unaware

By the time I'm dreaming

And you've crept out on me sleeping

Tell me how am I supposed to care?

If I had let you go, let you go

Would this be different, different?

Now I’ll never know, never know

I didn't get the chance, damn you

If I had let you go, let you go

Would this be different, different?

Now I’ll never know, never know

I didn't get the chance, damn you

By the time I'm dreaming

And you've crept out on me sleeping

I'm busy in the blissful unaware

By the time I'm dreaming

And you've crept out on me sleeping

Tell me how am I supposed to care?

(Chorus ×2)
