Whoa oh, whoa oh
I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me
Sly fox, you really tricked me
Now you've got me on a leash
Throw me a bone, just drive me home
Or give me something good to read
I am a nail stuck in a wall without a string
Around my neck tied to a frame
Vacant with no war to wage
Can't teach a boy what he don't wanna learn
Whoa oh, whoa oh
I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me
If it was up to me
As empty as this summer town street in January
Without a shoe pressing the pavement
Walking by me patiently
And there's a song charming my ears infinitely
Motherly it gently sings
In my headphones whispering
Making sure that I am not alone
Whoa oh, whoa oh
I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me
Fill me, I'm drying out and thin
Save me, I know you'd kill it
Fill me, I'm drying out and thin
Save me, I know you'd kill it
Fill me, I'm drying out and thin
Save me, I know you'd kill it
Whoa oh, whoa oh
I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me
Whoa oh, whoa oh
Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me
