Sudden Impulse

I had a sudden impulse to pick you up
To scoop you up
To carry you away
But you are so much bigger than me
You're so much stronger than me
You walk the edge of dream, it's true

I had a sudden impulse to pour
Oil over your head
To just stay here in bed
'Til you come and get me up. But you
Have work you gotta do
And I guess that I do too
We'll see if we make it through

Today has been a lesson in non-awakening
We just keep on dreaming and
The words begin to sound
Sadder than they really mean
And hearts begin to be
Wider than they really seem

Today has been a lesson in non-awakening
We just keep on dreaming and
The words begin to sound
Sadder than they really mean
And hearts begin to be
Wider than they really seem

Today has been a lesson in non-awakening
We just keep on dreaming and
The words begin to sound
Sadder than they really mean
And hearts begin to be
Wider than they really seem

Today has been a lesson in not awakening
And we just keep on dreaming
(The words begin to sound sadder than they really mean)
We're not awakening
(The hearts begin to be wilder than they really seem)

Today has been a lesson in not awakening
And words are wider than they really mean
And hearts are sadder than they really seem

I had a sudden impulse to pick you up
To scoop you up
To carry you away, but you
Have work you gotta do
And I guess that I do too
