Feel my way through the darkness, guided by a beating heart. I don't know where this journey will end, but I know where to start. They tell me I'm too young to understand, that I'm caught up in a dream, that life is too short. I'm Jack Conte. Life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes, and that's fine by me. So wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older. All this time I was finding myself, and I didn't know I was lost. Wake me up when it's all over. I tried carrying the weight of the world, but I only have 2 hands. I hope I get the chance to travel the world, but I don't have any plans. So wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older. All this time I was Finding myself, and I didn't know I was lost.
