| In between awake and sleeping |
| When the door opens to dreaming |
| That's when music starts playing |
| That's when the words come to me |
| And I leap from the dream to catch it |
| But by then it has run away |
| So it is this fear of losing |
| Every time I finally lay |
|
| Oh, did I waste my time |
| Lying in the sun like |
| It comes so easy |
| And everything's just for me |
| Life's a big old cherry tree |
| Chasing rainbows and |
| Staying high |
| And nothing gonna take me down |
| I am so me now |
|
| What does it mean to be consumed by ideas |
| But only in your sleep |
| Is this a cruel joke |
| My mind is playing on me? |
| It's like they got a leash on their minds |
| Mines loose a busy street |
| And he's got in his mouth the ticket |
| That's gonna set me free |
|
| Oh, did I waste my time |
| Lying in the sun like |
| It comes so easy |
| And everything's just for me |
| Life's a big old cherry tree |
| Chasing rainbows and |
| Staying high |
| And nothing gonna take me down |
| I am so me now |
| I am so me now |
|
| Midlife will sneak up on you |
| You end up on your knees |
| Asking it where it went wrong |
| Asking it what it needs |
| And everyone else is flying |
| So high they can hardly see |
| That you're stuck down on the ground |
| With ideas won't come to be |
|
| Oh, am I wasting time |
| Chasing old dreams and |
| Fearing the night |
| Now the whole thing brings me down |
| And I can't stop asking why |
| Nothing's where it's supposed to be |
| Not even in my own mind |
| I no longer feel like me |
| I no longer feel like me |
| I no longer feel like me |
|
