Wake Up

Every time I close my eyes
I get stuck in another dream
Like the one where I'm an astronaut
Drifting away in a big machine
The ship is always made of glass
And the stars are all made of gold
One minute I'm a young man
And the next I'm much too old

What does it mean?
Am I just out here wasting time?
What is it that I'm looking for?
What is it that I hope to find?
What does it mean
When you feel like an actor in a scene?
Just shifting through the backdrops
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up

Then there's the one where I am falling
From some high-rise hotel room
Any minute I could hit the ground
but somehow I never do
And the one where I am running
From all the monsters I create
stuck in slow motion
Up to the knees in muddy clay

What does it mean?
Am I just out here wasting time?
What is it that I'm looking for?
What is it that I hope to find?
What does it mean
When you feel like an actor in a scene?
Just shifting through the backdrops
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up

What does it mean?
Am I just out here wasting time?
What is it that I'm looking for?
What is it that I hope to find?
What does it mean
When you feel like an actor in a scene?
Just shifting through the backdrops
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
I just wanna wake up
