[Verse 1]



I spent the last six years



Like Hoffman in a swimming pool, and I've



Been lost at sea inside a house off Driftwood Avenue, and I



I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, oh



The clock is ticking faster now



And I'm too old to be growing up



Goodbye the heartache



That's the only southern part of me



I pack some boxes in the basement



And move down the street, and I



I'll leave the pirate ships to kids who don't know anything, oh



I'll be every bit the person we both already know I'll be



[Chorus]



Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man



Wake up, wake up



Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man



Wake up, wake up



Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan



It's time to be a man



[Refrain]



Don't close your eyes



Don't say goodnight



Don't take your life



Wake up, wake up



I had another nightmare, baby won't you comfort me?



Been lost at sea inside a house off Beachwood Avenue, and I



I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, oh



The clock is ticking faster now



The clock is ticking faster now



[Chorus]



Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man



Wake up, wake up



Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man



Wake up, wake up



Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan



It's time to be a man



[Refrain]



Don't close your eyes



Don't say goodnight



Don't dissapear



Don't not be here



Wake up, wake up



Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up [x4]



[Chorus]



Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man (Don't close your eyes)



Wake up, wake up (Don't say good night)



Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man (Don't disappear)



Wake up, wake up



Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan



I'll be every bit the person we both already know I can



It's time to be a man



[Verse 3]



I used to see all [?]



Been lost at sea inside a house off Driftwood Avenue



I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me



The clock is ticking faster now



The clock is ticking faster now
