Everybody gets down sometimes
You get happy with a sugar buzz
White chocolate is your favorite drug
I go underneath the covers
There are things I do not understand
When I reach out will you slap my hand?

I've been sleeping through my life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine
I have never been ecstatic
Had a flower but it never bloomed
In the darkness of my wasted youth
It was hiding in the shadows
Learning to become invisible
Uncover me

Weeping willow
I've been sleeping
I've been sleeping through my life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine
Waking up

Forgotten memories of
Laughter and war
That we lived through
And all the people that I never knew
I've been sleeping through
My life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine
I'm waking up
I want to stand in the sunshine
