Out there in the distance, I see people walking
Coming close to my space, coming closer by the hour
♪
Close all the windows
And shut the doors
And close the blinds
So we can all pretend we're fine
♪
Hardworking as we are to protect ourselves
Gathering in groups and passing on the panic fire
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over please

Out there in the distance, I see people walking
Coming close to my space, coming closer by the hour
♪
Steadfast I'm ignoring, trying to work not worry
About what I see and feel all around
♪
But how can people want this, uncertainty and squandering
Ignoring all your own, is this not our home?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over please
♪
Out there on the sidewalk, I see people walking
Entering in my space, no longer far away
♪
Not much has changed, yet I am still afraid
Want to talk and shout
And speak my mind and let it out
♪
Represent my voice, 'cause I don't have a choice
To stop this change, stop this change, protect our ways
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over please
♪
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over
Wake me when it's over please
