Man Songtext
von Relient K

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
I'm too old to be growing up

Goodbye, the 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

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

Don′t close your eyes
Don't say goodnight
Don′t take your life
Wake up, wake up

I had another nightmare
Baby, won't you comfort me?
Yeah, I've 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
The clock is ticking faster now

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


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
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up

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

I used to see all of the world in positivity
And I've been lost at sea inside a house off Driftwood Avenue
I made a mess out of the life that lay ahead of me
The clock is ticking faster now
(Wake up, wake up)
The clock is ticking faster now
