[Intro]
(Wake me if you're out there!)
[Verse 1]
Through the glass in my bedroom window
In the bushes far below
I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow
Among the ones I so clearly know

I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged
With a note on the rocking chair
That says "I'm dreaming of the life I once loved
So wake me if you're out there..."
[Chorus]
Living close to the ground
Is seventh heaven 'cause there are angels all around
Among my frivolous thoughts
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts
So wake me if you're out there!
Wake me if you're out there!
[Verse 2]
In the dust on my cellar staircase
A pair of footprints followed me
I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace
Blinked again but there was nothing to see

I've been leaving all the windows unlocked
With a basket by the oak tree
'Cause I'll be picking up the acorns that fall off
If you'll be climbing up to meet me
[Chorus]
Living close to the ground
Is seventh heaven 'cause there are angels all around
Among my frivolous thoughts
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts
So wake me if you're out there!
[Bridge]
I keep my knees black and blue 'cause they often hit the hardwood floor
And I believe so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore
[Hook]
I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged
With a note on the rocking chair
That says "I'm dreaming of the life I once loved
So wake me up if you're out there..."
[Chorus]
Living close to the ground
Is seventh heaven 'cause there are angels all around
Among my frivolous thoughts
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts
[Outro]
The indications reveal
That few of us realize life is quite so real
So if you're dying to see
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity.
