Love it love it love it! :pinkbow:

Updated Sept 15, from Japanese officially released TBWKTM:

 

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,

No, don't wake me up

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

 

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

 

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,

no, don't wake me up

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

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

 

If I had let you go, let you go (sounds like Would)

would this be different, different

Now I'll never know never know

I didn't get the chance damn you

 

If I let had 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

 

and by the time I'm dreaming

and you've crept out on me sleeping

I'm busy in the blissful unaware

 

and by the time I'm dreaming

and you've crept out on me sleeping

tell me how am I supposed to care

 

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,

no, don't wake me up

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,

no, don't wake me up

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,

no, don't wake me up

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,

no, don't wake me up

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up

Love it love it love it! :pinkbow:

 

so far we have what seems like bits of 2 parts:

 

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,

No, don't wake me up

 

and by the time I'm dreaming

and you've cut down on your sleeping

tell me how am I supposed to care

 

would I let you go, let you go

could this be different, different

 

....blissful unaware

and by the time I'm dreaming

and you've cut down on your sleeping

tell me how am I supposed to care

 

Don't wake up, won't wake up, can't wake up,

no, don't wake me up

 

a trail of clothes...

 

This is my 3rd favourite song from TBHKTM. I'd love it if he released it as a single, please Mika please!!! And Imogen too :teehee:

 

Thanks for getting the lyrics straight (or,at least,what we can hear of them). :thumb_yello:

So many of the album songs would make great singles. I'm spoiled for choice. But I think By The Time would be a great song to have as a single. Kudos to Imogen as well as Mika. They write together so well.

I thought one of the lines was "and you crept out on me sleeping..."

 

I didn't see your post, and I have been listening over and over, and just came to that revelation myself. :doh:

 

I got a few more lines from the amazon site. Added to the first post...who knows if the order of the bits is right....

Shame, such a beautiful, beautiful young lie/life(?)

 

I always think he goes to say "love" then...it doesn't sound like "love" when he's finished the word lol xD

Is it about suicide?

 

You think so?:boxed:

 

Ooooops, that thought never occured to me, though i've been calling it the "Sleeping pill" song...:shocked:

 

Anyway, apart from Loverboy which is "old", this is my fav song of the album...:mf_lustslow:

Certainly it's what I think of when I hear it. As in, that's what it feels like its about. It's the one that's most on my brain at the moment.
