Hold on to what's making you roam
And it takes so long to get old
But it took me so darn long to figure that out
A bit further on down the line
And you cross my mind so frequently sometimes
I wanna wake up while I can
Nobody will expect a change in me
My father could whistle to sleep
A whole herd of miserable sheep
But I can't go till you count back from three
I wanna wake up while I can
I wanna wake up in your hands
Nobody will expect a change in me
