[Verse 1]
He sells office supplies in his name tag and tie
Oh, they complete his secret identity
Unknowing citizens shop for ballpoint pens
To them he's just the guy who rings them up

[Chorus]
And he can't shake the feeling that this whole world's asleep
He's full of vision no one else can see
But soon he'll make it real 'cause he knows how to keep believing
Wake up dreaming

[Verse 2]
On fifteen minute breaks, he fills his sketchbook page with
Characters sworn to protect the earth
And they save human kind from evil masterminds
They're his only hope in a sea of envelopes

[Chorus]
And he can't shake the feeling that this whole world's asleep
He's full of vision no one else can see
But soon he'll make it real 'cause he knows how to keep believing
Wake up dreaming

[Bridge]
And he keeps sketching fire escapes and back doors
Knows there's got to be more to his life
[Chorus]
'Cause he can't shake the feeling that this whole world's asleep
He's full of vision no one else can see
But soon he'll make it real 'cause he knows how to keep believing
Wake up dreaming
