Tom Petty - Wake Up Time lyrics

[Tom Petty - Wake Up Time lyrics]

You follow your feelings
You follow your dreams
You follow the leader into the trees
And what's in there waiting
Neither one of us knows
You gotta keep one eye open
The further you go

You never dreamed you'd go down on one knee
But now who could've seen you'd be so
Hard to please somehow?
You feel like a poor boy a long way from home
You're just a poor boy a long way from home

And it's wake-up time
Time to open up your eyes and rise and shine

You spend your life dreaming
Running 'round in a trance
You hang out forever and still miss the dance
And if you get lucky, you might find someone
To help you get over the pain that will come

Yeah, you were so cool back in high school
What happened? You were so sure not to
Have your spirit's down
But you're just a poor boy
Alone in this world
You're just a poor boy, alone in this world

And it's wake-up time
Time to open up your eyes and rise and shine

Well, they think it's lucky
A boy finds a girl
To help him to shoulder the
Pain in this world
And if you follow your feelings
You follow your dreams
You might find the forest there in the trees

Yeah, you'll be all right, it's
Just gonna take time, and now
Who could have seen you'd be
So hard to please somehow?
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home

And it's wake-up time
Time to open up your eyes and rise and shine

'Cause it's wake-up time
Time to open up your eyes and rise and shine
