  • Wake me if you're out there

    Through the glass in my bedroom window
    In the bushes far below
    I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow
    Among the ones I so clearly know

    I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged
    With a note on the rocking chair
    That says I'm dreaming of the life I once loved
    So wake me if you're out there

    Living close to the ground
    It's seventh Heaven 'cause there are angels all around
    Among my frivolous thoughts
    I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts
    Wake me if you're out there
    Wake me if you're out there

    In the dust on my cellar staircase
    A pair of footprints followed me
    I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace
    Blinked again, but there was nothing to see

    I've been leaving all the windows unlocked
    With a basket by the oak tree
    'Cause I'll be picking up the acorns that fall off
    If you'll be climbing up to meet me

    Living close to the ground
    It's seventh Heaven 'cause there are angels all around
    Among my frivolous thoughts
    I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts
    Wake me if you're out there

    I keep my knees black and blue
    'Cause they often hit the hardwood floor
    (Wake me if you're out there)
    And I believe, so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore

    I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged
    With a note on the rocking chair
    that says I'm dreaming of the life I once loved
    So wake me if you're out there

    Living close to the ground
    It's seventh Heaven 'cause there are angels all around
    Among my frivolous thoughts
    I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts

    The indications reveal (wake me if you're out there)
    That few of us realize life is quite so real
    So if you're dying to see
    I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity

    So if you're dying to see
    I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity Writer/s: Adam R. Young
