Pinch Me - Barenaked Ladies

It’s the perfect time of year

Somewhere far away from here

I feel fine enough, I guess

Considering everything’s a mess

There’s a restaurant down the street

Where hungry people like to eat

I could walk but I’ll just drive

It’s colder than it looks outside

Like a dream you try to remember but it’s gone

(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn

(I'm still asleep) When you try to

See the world, beyond your front door

(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile

(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while

(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for

It’s the perfect time of day

To throw all your cares away

Put the sprinkler on the lawn

And run through with my gym shorts on

Take a drink right from the hose

And change into some dryer clothes

Climb the stairs up to my room

Sleep away the afternoon

Like a dream you try to remember but it’s gone

(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn

(I'm still asleep) When you try to

See the world, beyond your front door

(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile

(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while

(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch me, pinch me, cause I’m still asleep

Please God tell me that I’m still asleep

On an evening such as this

It’s hard to tell if I exist

If I pack the car and leave this town

Who’ll notice that I’m not around

I could hide out under there

I just made you say «underwear»

I could leave but I’ll just stay

All my stuff’s here anyway

Like a dream you try to remember but it’s gone

(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn

(I'm still asleep) When you try to

See the world, beyond your front door

(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile

(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while

(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Try to figure out what all this is for

(Pinch me) (I'm still asleep) Try to

See the world beyond your front door

(Pinch me) (I'm still asleep) Try to figure out what all this is for
