Wake Up

Is that what it's all about?
A little in your window
Cause in the end, all that knew you
Wouldn't tend upon

And there's a certain self-esteem you need
To know what you mean
And if you know what I mean
I've never really been that one

You told me to wake up and smell the roses
I hardly got the best of noses
I couldn't read in between your lines
Well I know it seems so silly
I couldn't wake up and smell the lilies
Did I miss the boat or is there still time?

I heard your words so long ago
And only for a minute or so
I didn't give enough of a try
But now that I finally begin to find
Out what's really on your mind
My whole world, it just starts to collide

You told me to wake up and smell the roses
I hardly got the best of noses
I couldn't read in between your lines
Well I know it seems so silly
I couldn't wake up and smell the lilies
Did I miss the boat or is there still time?
Oh did I miss the boat or is there still time?

You tell me to give you a listen, baby
And now I'm telling you to give me a listen, baby
You told me to
Wake up, wake up
Wake up
Wake up, wake up, yeah

Now I'm telling you to
Wake up, wake up
Wake up
Wake up, wake up, yeah

Yeah I'm telling you to wake up and smell my roses
Girl I hope you notice
I hope you can reveal my signs
You know I'm trying to be clear
Can you hear me or see me nearly?
Go on you decode my rhymes

You told me to wake up and smell the roses
I hardly got the best of noses
I couldn't read in between your lines
Well I know it seems so silly
I couldn't wake up and smell the lilies
Did I miss the boat or is there still time?
Oh did I miss the boat or is there still time?
Did I miss the boat or is there still time?
