Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me (Live) [Holmdel 7-14-04] Lyrics

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
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door

Take your time 'cos the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize, with a guy my size, it might take a while
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 no clothing on

Take a drink right from the hose
Then change into Alanis's clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon

Like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door

Take your time, the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize, with a guy my size, it might take a while
Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch me, pinch me
'Cos 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 packed a 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
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world beyond your front door

Take your time, the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile
When you realize, with a guy my size, it might take a while
Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Try to figure out what all this is for
