lyrics

There's a man in my bed asleep again
Do all I can, shake my head, it's all in vain
Through the door, shines the sun, so bright in here
And what's more everyone from his life is here

Don't try calling, he won't hear

Wake up and dig your heels in
It's just a dream you're in now
Wake up and dig your heels in
Wake up and get stuck in now
Wake up, it's time to begin
It's just we worry about you
Wake up and dig your heels in
And we want you here with us too
Wake up and pull your finger out
Look at the state you're in now

All his friends tell him how he's missing out
But in the end which is now or thenabout
He was the person who decided to wrap himself up
Closed his eyes, drifted off and he didn't wake up

We shake his shoulders, call his name
The dreams must seem so real
But he's not reaching anyone

And all that remains is a ghost in his chair
We take his hands but we just leave him there
We hear his voice as he talks in his dream
"Just five more minutes" he says but we scream-

Wake up...

There's a man in my bed asleep again
Done all I can, shake my head, it's all in vain
Wander away one by one to live our day
Passing by now and then but he chose to stay

Lungs full, arms out, we all shout...

Wake up, wake up...

Wake up and dig your heels in
It's just a dream you're in now
Wake up and dig your heels in
Wake up and get stuck in now
Wake up, it's time to begin
It's just we worry about you
Wake up and dig your heels in
And we want you here with us too
Wake up, it's time to begin
It's just a dream you're in now
Wake up and dig your heels in
Wake up and get stuck in now
Time for the day to begin
It's just we worry about you
Wake up and dig your heels in
And we want you here with us too
Wake up and get stuck in now
It's just we worry about you
Wake up and pull your finger out
We want you here with us too
