Man - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I spent the last six years

Like Hoffman in a swimming pool, and I've

Been lost at sea inside a house off Driftwood Avenue, and I

I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, oh

The clock is ticking faster now

And I'm too old to be growing up

[Verse 2]

Goodbye to heartache, that's the only southern part of me

I pack some boxes in the basement and move down the street, and I

I'll leave the pirate ships to kids who don't know anything, oh

I'll be every bit the person we both already know I'll be

[Chorus]

Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man

Wake up, wake up (Wake up, wake up)

Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man

Wake up, wake up (Wake up, wake up)

Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan

It's time to be a man

[Post-Chorus]

Don't close your eyes

Don't say goodnight

Don't take your life

Wake up, wake up

[Verse 3]

I had another nightmare, baby, won't you comfort me?

Been lost at sea inside a house off Beachwood Avenue, and I

I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me, oh

The clock is ticking faster now

[Chorus]

Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man

Wake up, wake up (Don't close your eyes, don't say good night)

Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man (Don't disappear, don't not be here)

Wake up, wake up

Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan

It's time to be a man

[Post-Chorus]

Don't close your eyes

Don't say goodnight

Don't disappear

Don't not be here

Wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up (Wake up, wake up)

[Chorus]

Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man (Don't close your eyes)

Wake up, wake up (Don't say good night)

Wake up, wake up, it's time to be a man (Don't disappear)

Wake up, wake up

Wave goodbye as I outgrow the shadow of Peter Pan

I'll be every bit the person we both already know I can

It's time to be a man

[Outro]

I used to see all of the world in positivity (Don't close your eyes, don't disappear)

Been lost at sea inside a house off Driftwood Avenue (Don't say goodnight, don't not be here)

I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me (Don't take your life, don't live in fear)

The clock is ticking faster now (Wake up, wake up)

The clock is ticking faster now
