"Pinch Me"
“
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 ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door.
Take your time because the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile when ya
Realize that with a guy my size it might take a while just to
Try to figure out what all this is for.
— Barenaked Ladies
