I set a watch for 5 o'clock I think of trees And rivers as I'm drifting off I pinch my wrist (just to tell where I am) I get a twinge (seems as real as it can) But I remain and so I know the rest Is up to me
At night, the sunlight beats upon my skin In here, I see everything And until the morning comes I feel it
All my life I tried To find the time to make believe But now as certain as the seasons I know real life will get in between If I never get to decide my reality At least I see how it could be When I get round to sleeping (sleeping) Dreaming (dreaming) Works for me
And though my soul (let's me do what I want) Is pretty bold (in a place I belong) From time to time, my grip'll slip And I just lose control Then awake I freeze But nothing in my head can hurt me However real it seems
All my life I tried To find the time to make believe But now as certain as the seasons I know real life will get in between If I never get to decide my reality At least I see how it could be When I get round to sleeping (sleeping) Dreaming (dreaming) When I get round to sleeping (sleeping) Dreaming (dreaming) Oh
