Half Asleep

Dear everyone I've ever known
It took a while, but I think I've grown
I think I've finally figured out
That I missed the point of the scenic route

I'm sorry that I didn't see
The little bits of grace shining down on me
I was boxing shadows for so long
But I swear I've changed, it's time to write this wrong

I'm done walking through life like I'm half asleep
I'm done letting these feelings get the best of me
Cause when I was down, I had a light to see
Yeah, you're the light that's guiding me

Dear everyone I tried to be
It took a while, but I finally found me
In the yellow house by the old maple tree
Still hiding, scared of what's beneath

Shivering from the cold and rain
Hiding in my room trying to stop the pain
But the sun still rises all the same
So I'll hold my head up high, still waiting for the day

I'm done walking through life like I'm half asleep
I'm done letting these feelings get the best of me
Cause when I was down, I had a light to see
Yeah, you're the light that's guiding me

Wake up, wake up
Wake up and see that you're a lucky man
With a soul and skin
And endless dreams in the palm of your hands

Wake up, wake up
(You taught me how to fly)
Wake up and see that you're a lucky man
(How could I ask for more?)
With a soul and skin
(You taught me how to fly)
And endless dreams in the palm of your hands
(How could I ask for more?)

Yeah, I'm done walking through life like I'm half asleep
I'm done letting these feelings get the best of me
Cause when I was down, I had a light to see
Yeah, you're the light that's guiding me

(You taught me how to fly)
(How could I ask for more?)
(You said:)
("How do you know if you don't try?")
("This life is an open door")
("So what are you waiting...?")
