Lu Carter - I've Been Asleep Lyrics

Happy people smile more than you
Unhappy people don't smile as much as you do
They told me I'm stuck in limbo
I said I felt like I've been dreaming since summer
They told me life's a nightmare
You better pinch yourself
Go take a walk outside
And stare at the clouds passing by
They said they all just want to dance
And they said that they can't do that
With Paul Simon playing in the back
They said I make them fall asleep
And they said that it's a compliment
They're always complimenting me
But then why do I still feel so
Faces surround me
I can't make them out
And I don't speak their language
I got a letter in the mail
From a boy in Austin, Texas
I remember him walking in the dark
And I think that he's been thinking of me
And I remember that he played punk rock
I guess I'll never feel that feeling
That feeling they're all wailing over
I'm married to a fantasy
I'm married to delusions
And they cradle me while I fall asleep
I'm hanging by strings
And they're all pulling on me
I'm a puppet
They're the master
Try to run
They're always faster
So I stay
Swaying in the breeze
And I'm getting older but I still feel like just a child
Twenty years old all I see is still a child
And I'm getting older but I still feel like just a child
Twenty years old but all I see is still a child
And I ask myself where's the time gone
And I ask myself where's it all go
And I ask myself where's the time gone
And I ask myself where's it all go
And I ask myself where's the time gone
And I ask myself where's it all go
And I ask myself where's the time gone
And I ask myself where's it all go
