Don't wake me when this is over And just let me drift amidst my dreams I need to regain composure And right now my heart is still and asleep I refuse to believe That we've become so obsolete Don't wake me when this is over 'Cause I need to find the time lost in between If we get back (Get back) To loving each other (Loving each other) Can we get back (Get back) To learning how to live? We are strangers in this land With so much left to discover Can we get back To learning how to live? We look to the heavens above For advice on our lives Searching for God at the bottoms of bottles And in strangers' eyes We're living in desperation Drowning in medication Lost in the folly of our age If we get back (Get back) To loving each other (Loving each other) Can we get back (Get back) To learning how to live? We are strangers in this land With so much left to discover Can we get back To learning how to live? We are strangers in this land We are strangers in this land
