Boxes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Went to the wrong school Wearing the wrong shoes They told me that I should sit down and just bite my tongue 'Cause if you're lucky You'll get to university Say three hail Marys And everything bad will be gone [Refrain] But I'm so tired of standing still And I'm not buying what you're trying to sell [Chorus] So don't wake me up If you're only going to tell me to give it up Then say everything I do is never enough 'Cause you're lying through your teeth We don't fit into your boxes We're all different underneath Don't wake me up [Verse 2] When I got my first guitar My father told me "Son Four chords is all you need to show people just who you are" So I played to strangers Down by the backstreets And everytime they caught me dreaming I'd say [Chorus] Don't wake me up If you're only going to tell me to give it up Then say everything I do is never enough 'Cause you're lying through your teeth We don't fit into your boxes We're all different underneath Don't wake me up Don't wake me up [Refrain] 'Cause I'm so tired of standing still And I'm not buying what you are trying to sell So don't wake me up [Chorus] Oh, oh, oh, don't wake me up If you're only going to tell me to give it up Then say everything I do is never enough 'Cause you're lying through your teeth We don't fit into your boxes We're all different underneath Don't wake me up Don't wake me up Don't wake me up [Outro] Don't wake me up
