If It Was Up To Me

I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me

Like fox, you really tricked me
Now you've got me on a leash
Throw me a bone, just drag me home, or give me something good to read

I am a nail stuck in a wall without a string
Around my neck tied to a brain
Fake it with no war to wage
Can't teach your boy what he don't wanna learn

Whooaaa, whoooaa
I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me
Whooaaa, whoooaa
Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me
If it was up to me

As empty as this summer town street in January
Without a shoe pressing the pavement
Walking by me patiently
And there's a song jamming my ears infinetly
Motherly it gently sings, in my headphones, whispering
Making sure that I am not alone

Whooaaa, whoooaa
I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me
Whooaaa, whoooaa
Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me

Fill me, I'm drying out and then...
Save me, I know you'd kill it [x3]

Whooaaa, whoooaa
I'd be sleeping now if it was up to me
Whooaaa, whoooaa
Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me
Whooaaa, whoooaa
Wouldn't hear a sound if it was up to me
