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] Well, 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] But 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] And 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 Oh, don't wake me up Oh, don't wake me up [Outro] Ooh, ooh, ooh Don't wake me up
