I've seen you on that barstool a hundred times before
Crying in your cabernet and staring at the door.
Waiting for your man to come and tell you he was wrong
Darling you been staring at that door for and waiting for too long.
And I think it's time you open up your pretty eyes to see
The perfect love he promised you will never come to be
Yes I think it's time you wake up from this foolish fantasy
I think it's time you wake up next to me.
I've seen you in the corner a hundred times before
But every time I smile at you, you look down at the floor
I wonder what you're waiting for I'm all you need and so much more
You been staring at that door for and waiting for too long.
Don't be too shy, this bird will fly, out into the night
Yes I think it's time you open up your pretty eyes to see
The perfect love you've been dreaming of is right in front of thee
Yes I think it's time you wake up to a living fantasy
I think it's time you wake up next to me.
I've dreamed of walking up to you a hundred times before
Take your arm in mine and go a strolling on the shore.
Waiting for the stars to rise and put a shining in your eyes.
And tell you what a fool I was, waiting for too long.
Yes I think it's time you open up your pretty eyes to see
The perfect love you've been dreaming of is right in front of thee
Yes I think it's time you wake up to a living fantasy
I think it's time you wake up next to me.
Oh, I wish that you would wake up
Oh, I think it's time you wake up next to me.
