 It's the perfect  time of year
 Somewhere  far away from here
 I feel fine  enough, I guess
 Considering  everything's  a mess
 There's a restaurant  down the street
 Where hungry  people like  to eat
 I could walk  but I'll just  drive
 It's colder than it looks  out side.
 It's like a dream you try to remember  but it's gone
  Then ya'  try to scream but it only comes  out as a yawn
  When you try  to see the world Beyond  your front door
 Take your time, is the way I rhyme's  gonna make you smile
  When you  realize that a guy my size  might take a while
 Just try to figure out what all  this is for?
 It's the perfect  time of day
 To throw all  your cares away
 Put the sprinkler  on the lawn
 And run  through with my gym  shorts on.
 Take a drink  right from the hose
 And change  into some drier  clothes
 Climb the stairs  up to my room
 Sleep away the afternoon.
 It's like a dream you try to remember  but it's gone
  Then ya'  try to scream but it only comes  out as a yawn
  When you try  to see the world Beyond  your front door
 Take your time, is the way I rhyme's  gonna make you smile
  When you  realize that a guy my size  might take a while
 Just try to figure out what all  this is for?
Pinch  me, pinch  me,  cause I'm  still asleep
Please God  tell me that  I'm  still asleep
 On an evening  such as this
 It's hard  to tell if I  exist
 Packed a car  and leave this town
 Who'll notice  that I'm not  around?
 I could hide  out under there
 I just  made you say 'underwear'
 I could leave  but I'll just stay
 All my stuff's here anyway.
 It's like a dream you try to remember  but it's gone
  Then ya'  try to scream but it only comes  out as a yawn
  When you try  to see the world Beyond  your front door
 Take your time, is the way I rhyme's  gonna make you smile
  When you  realize that a guy my size  might take a while
 Just try to figure out what all  this is for?
 Try to figure out what all  this is for
 Try to see the world beyond  your front door
 Try to figure out what all  this is for
