Seven months on her own a new life on the way
Her mom gone too early
Advice come too late
The churches were full
So I guess he ain’t savin’ nobody

And he cried every night
Just like babies’ll do
To say “hey mom please wake up
I’m counting on you”
“What a shame” friends would say
“We thought she’d end up being a doctor.”

Oh and I wonder if this life should be
Lived for greater purpose than being someone else’s dream
Oh and I wonder what this life should be
Lately all I need’s just a little more sleep

You dance back and forth between rhythm and blues
It was brave or it was just stupid
But to tell you the truth
If there was a difference I guess I never knew what it was

It was red in the morning and three blues at night
They said feelin’ sedated man, feelin’ all right
And if somethings been wrong I guess this is the light in the tunnel

Oh and I wonder if this life should be
Lived for greater purpose than feeling nothing constantly
Oh and I wonder if this life should be
Lately all I need’s just a little more sleep

Sometimes it’s to wake up
And some to forget
The chemical answer it’s the questions I have
And no I don’t need it I just don’t know where I’d be without it

Oh and I wonder if this life should be
Lived for greater purpose than being someone else’s dream
Oh and I wonder what life should be
Lately all I need is a little more sleep
Just a little more
