Lyrics Pinch Me - Barenaked Ladies

Pinch Me

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
(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
(I'm still asleep) When you try to
See the world, beyond your front door
(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
(I'm still asleep) 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 my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some dryer clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon
Like a dream you try to remember but it’s gone
(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
(I'm still asleep) When you try to
See the world, beyond your front door
(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for
Pinch me, pinch me, cause 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 pack the 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
(Pinch me) Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn
(I'm still asleep) When you try to
See the world, beyond your front door
(Please God) Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
(Tell me) When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
(I'm still asleep) Just to try to figure out what all this is for
Try to figure out what all this is for
(Pinch me) (I'm still asleep) Try to
See the world beyond your front door
(Pinch me) (I'm still asleep) Try to figure out what all this is for
