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
