Lyric

Stop turning the dial in your head

The static is making you blind

You are staring at the ceiling in bed

Just fighting the ghosts in your mind

Leave the puzzle pieces on the floor

You do not have to build the frame

Just walk right out the front door

And forget the rules of the game

A heavy brain is a sinking ship

Why let the water pull you down

Bite the worry right off your lip

And swim away from the town

Wake me up when the thinking is done

I just want to walk in the sun

If a problem is too big to chew

Spit it out and find something new

Life is way too short to trace

Every little line on your face

Drop the map and lose the way

We are only living for today

People build cages out of their words

And lock themselves tight inside

They listen to the warning birds

And look for a corner to hide

But the sky is an open blue sheet

Just waiting for a careless stroke

Feel the solid ground under your feet

And watch the heavy thoughts go up in smoke

A heavy brain is a sinking ship

Why let the water pull you down

Bite the worry right off your lip

And swim away from the town

Wake me up when the thinking is done

I just want to walk in the sun

If a problem is too big to chew

Spit it out and find something new

Life is way too short to trace

Every little line on your face

Drop the map and lose the way

We are only living for today

Yeah lose the way

Live for today

Let the heavy thoughts drift

Give your spirit a lift

You dissect every text on your phone

Looking for a secret attack

You feel so incredibly alone

Carrying a mountain on your back

Just put the screen down on the desk

And look at the dust in the air

Life is not a spelling test

So stop acting like you care

A heavy brain is a sinking ship

Why let the water pull you down

Bite the worry right off your lip

And swim away from the town

Wake me up when the thinking is done

I just want to walk in the sun

If a problem is too big to chew

Spit it out and find something new

Life is way too short to trace

Every little line on your face

Drop the map and lose the way

We are only living for today

Over and over the wheels spin around

Grinding the dirt into the ground

You are searching for a hidden key

But the door was always open and free

Stop trying to read the empty space

Wipe the tired sweat from your face

Just let the stupid engine stall

You do not have to answer the call

Sometimes you just have to say no

To the voices demanding a plan

Let the wild summer wind blow

And be a simple kind of man

Do not measure the depth of the lake

Just jump in and feel the cold

Give your tired logic a break

Before you get gray and old

A heavy brain is a sinking ship

Why let the water pull you down

Bite the worry right off your lip

And swim away from the town

Stop turning the dial in your head

The static is making you blind

Wake me up when the thinking is done

I just want to walk in the sun

If a problem is too big to chew

Spit it out and find something new

Life is way too short to trace

Every little line on your face

Drop the map and lose the way

We are only living for today

Wake me up

When the thinking is done

Walk in the sun

Drop the map

Lose the way

Yeah lose the way

Leave the puzzle

Forget the game

Wake up
