Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Went to the wrong school
Wearin' 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 Mary's
And everything bad will be gone
[Verse 2]
But I'm so tired of standin' still
And I'm not buyin' what you're tryin' to sell
[Verse 3]
So don't wake me up
If you're only gonna tell me to give it up
Then say everything I do is never enough
'Cause you're lyin' through your teeth
We don't fit into your boxes
We're all different underneath
[Verse 4]
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
[Verse 5]
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 every time they caught me dreamin', I'd say
[Verse 6]
Don't wake me up
If you're only gonna tell me to give it up
Then say everything I do is never enough
'Cause you're lyin' through your teeth
We don't fit into your boxes
We're all different underneath
[Verse 7]
Don't wake me up
Oh, don't wake me up
[Verse 8]
But I'm so tired of standin' still
And I'm not buyin' what you're tryin' to sell
[Verse 9]
So don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
And, oh, don't wake me up
If you're only gonna tell me to give it up
Then say everything I do is never enough
'Cause you're lyin' through your teeth
We don't fit into your boxes
We're all different underneath
[Verse 10]
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Don't wake me up
