Les paroles de la chanson
« By the time »
Mika

{x2:}
Don’t wake up, won’t wake up, can’t wake up
No, don’t wake me up

It’s the early morn
Lights flick on
Sleepy eyes peek through the blinds at something wrong
Motionless remains the mess
Shame, such a beautiful, beautiful young life

{Refrain:}
By the time I’m dreaming
And you’ve crept out on me sleeping
I’m busy in the blissful unaware
By the time I’m dreaming
And you’ve crept out on me sleeping
Tell me how am I supposed to care

{x2:}
Don’t wake up, won’t wake up, can’t wake up
No, don’t wake me up

A trail of clothes two years old
Why did you have to go and leave all this stuff behind?
Wasn’t I allowed three strikes and out
No, but you said I could, said I could just one night

{au Refrain}

{x2:}
If I had let you go, let you go
Would this be different, different?
Now I’ll never know, never know
I didn’t get the chance damn you

{au Refrain}

{ad lib:}
Don’t wake up, won’t wake up, can’t wake up
No, don’t wake me up
