Boxes (Apple Music Home Session)

[Verse 1]

Went to the wrong school

Wearing the wrong shoes

They told me that I should sit down and just bite my tongue

'Cause if you're lucky

You'll get to university

Say three hail Marys

And everything bad will be gone

[Refrain]

But I'm so tired of standing still

And I'm not buying what you're trying to sell

[Chorus]

So don't wake me up

If you're only going to tell me to give it up

Then say everything I do is never enough

'Cause you're lying through your teeth

We don't fit into your boxes

We're all different underneath

Don't wake me up

[Verse 2]

When I got my first guitar

My father told me "Son

Four chords is all you need to show people just who you are"

So I played to strangers

Down by the backstreets

And everytime they caught me dreaming I'd say

[Chorus]

Well, don't wake me up

If you're only going to tell me to give it up

Then say everything I do is never enough

'Cause you're lying through your teeth

We don't fit into your boxes

We're all different underneath

Don't wake me up

Don't wake me up

[Refrain]

But I'm so tired of standing still

And I'm not buying what you are trying to sell

So don't wake me up

[Chorus]

And oh-oh-oh, don't wake me up

If you're only going to tell me to give it up

Then say everything I do is never enough

'Cause you're lying through your teeth

We don't fit into your boxes

We're all different underneath

Don't wake me up

Oh, don't wake me up

Oh, don't wake me up

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Don't wake me up
