Boxes Lyrics
[00:09.60] Went to the wrong school
[00:11.93] Wearing the wrong shoes
[00:13.91] They told me that I should sit down
[00:17.21] And just bite my tongue
[00:18.78] 'Cause if you're lucky
[00:20.90] You'll get to university
[00:23.25] Say three hail Mary's
[00:25.05] And everything bad will be gone
[00:31.35] But I'm so tired of standing still
[00:35.85] And I'm not buying what you're trying to sell
[00:40.18] So don't wake me up
[00:43.02] If you're only going to tell me to give it up
[00:47.32] Then say everything I do is never enough
[00:52.03] 'Cause you're lying through your teeth
[00:54.18] We don't fit into your boxes
[00:56.73] We're all different underneath
[00:58.60] Don't wake me up
[01:01.55]
[01:04.52] When I got my first guitar
[01:06.83] My father told me, "Son
[01:08.98] Four chords is all you need
[01:10.77] To show people just who you are"
[01:13.55] So I played to strangers
[01:15.10] Down by the backstreets
[01:18.23] And everytime they caught me dreaming, I'd say
[01:21.57] Don't wake me up
[01:24.06] If you're only going to tell me to give it up
[01:28.65] Then say everything I do is never enough
[01:33.13] 'Cause you're lying through your teeth
[01:35.45] We don't fit into your boxes
[01:37.74] We're all different underneath
[01:39.60] Don't wake me up
[01:44.46] Don't wake me up
[01:49.07] 'Cause I'm so tired of standing still
[01:53.71] And I'm not buying what you're trying to sell
[01:58.08] So don't wake me up
[02:01.78]
[02:05.75] Oh, oh, oh
[02:07.31] Don't wake me up
[02:09.63] If you're only going to tell me to give it up
[02:14.31] Then say everything I do is never enough
[02:18.87] 'Cause you're lying through your teeth
[02:21.09] We don't fit into your boxes
[02:23.50] We're all different underneath
[02:25.39] Don't wake me up
[02:30.02] Don't wake me up
[02:34.53] Don't wake me up
[02:37.64]
[02:43.78] Don't wake me up
[02:45.46]
