Wake-up Call
I was fleeting in Paradise
Playing silly games along the way
Oblivious to the obvious
Came upon a wishing well
How many times have I come by here?
Tossing coins for wishes I don’t know
Possible to come true
I’d sit for a while
Wishing for just one thing
Over and over again
Sometimes I feel silly doing so
Like a child I saw you
Was curious of you
Wanted to learn all about you
Now I’m telling me “I told you so”
You taught me love and how it feels
Preached the world to me and everything
You taught me hurt and its remedies
You’re my wake-up call
In this fleeting haven
You taught me how human I was
That I’m one of billions out there
Well, yeah I can agree with you on that
I’m one of billions, I always will be
Will be me like no one else can be
You taught me jealousy and its cure
Taught me now I should say amen
To forget everything and live on
To forgive anyone like I haven’t before
You’re my wake-up call
You helped me brave the mountains I sigh upon
And the oceans I’d dare not swim in
Taught me to let things go
And just be me
Never mind where the current flows
Yes you, you taught so many things
Taught me about Mister Life
And how he goes in his own way
Taught me to follow him in my own way
You’re my wake-up call
…but you
Why are you so hard to reach?
Why are you closing down on yourself?
Why can’t I get through you?
You’re my wake-up call
…and I want to be yours too
It’s an offer I never thought I’d make
It’s the most expensive thing I’ll ever put on my shelves
Along with it comes everything else
And I’m back at the wishing well
I want you but I want me too
I want to learn to live
Then again
I’d rather not leave my corner
I just couldn’t make up my mind
Reality
Tell me what’s real
When you don’t seem to be
Fantasy
Tell me what I fantasize on
When you’re right in front of me
Like a child I saw you
Wanted to have what I see
But Mister Life’s being cruel to me
Tagged me behind Sister Love
Now I’m following like a fool
I want you but I want me too
You taught me so many things
I taught me so too
Just couldn’t decide who
To follow, me or you
You’re my wake-up call
In this blinded world
I wanted to be your wake-up call
So I’m back at the wishing well
Playing silly games along the way
Oblivious to the obvious
Came upon a wishing well
How many times have I come by here?
Tossing coins for wishes I don’t know
Possible to come true
I’d sit for a while
