Mika - By the Time lyrics
Michael Holbrook Penniman
[Mika - By the Time lyrics]
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
And by the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care
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
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
And by the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care
Would I had let you go, let you go
Could this be different, different
Now I'll never know, never know
I didn't get the chance, damn you
Would 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
And by the time I'm dreaming
And you've crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care
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
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
