Lyrics

Feeling my way through the  
Guided by a   heart
I can't tell where the journey will  
But I   where it starts
They tell me I'm too   to understand
They say I'm   up in a dream
Well life will   me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's   by me

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm   and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the   of the world
But I only have two  
I hope I get the   to travel the world
And I don't have any  
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not   to close my eyes
Life's a   made for everyone
And love is a  

So wake? me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
