[Verse 1]
I see my life again, I'm outside my body
Baby, buzz me in 'cause I'm asleep in the lobby
I don't need no fuss, I don't wanna get sloppy
But I'm stuck in the cut
I'm just a little stuck
[Pre-Chorus]
All my friends are changin' around me
Maybe I was lost, but maybe I'm bound to be
All my friends are changin' in front of me
Baby, count the cost, but, baby, don't run from me
[Chorus]
Life is all what happens in the in-between
No, I just wanna be awake in the dream
I don't need the end to justify the means
Oh, I just wanna be, I just wanna be
Awake in the dream
Oh, awake in the dream
[Verse 2]
I've been takin' losses, I've been pressin' the boundaries
Fightin' off these feelings that are pressin' to drown me
I get what I want, but I don't
Get what I need
[Pre-Chorus]
All my friends are changin' around me
Maybe I was lost, but maybe I'm bound to be
All my friends are changin' in front of me
Baby, count the cost, but, baby, don't run from me
[Chorus]
Life is all what happens in the in-between
No, I just wanna be awake in the dream
I don't need the end to justify the means
Oh, I just wanna be, oh, I just wanna be
Awake in the dream
Oh, awake in the dream
[Bridge]
Baby, there's time to get it right
Baby, start the car before we lose the light
No one ever tells me what it's like
Baby, start the car before we lose the light
Baby, there's time to get it right
Baby, start the car before we lose the light
No one ever tells me what it's like
Baby, start the car before we lose the light
Baby, there's time to get it right
Baby, start the car before we lose the light
No one ever tells me what it's like
Baby, start the car before we lose the light
[Outro]
(Before we lose the light)
Awake in the dream
Oh, awake in the dream
(Before we lose the light)
Awake in the dream
Oh, awake in the dream
(Before we lose the light)
(Baby, start the car before we lose the light)

Ever wake up and realize you’ve been mailing it in? By “It” I mean: your life.
Well, it’s happened to me. It happens to us all. It can take effort to be present and awake. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable, even painful. But I have to believe it’s worth it.
After all, is there a greater miracl...
