about

Confessions of a control freak.

lyrics

I’m letting go of the big decisions
I’m letting go of all the crap
I’m leaving it to my wife and my manager
And I’ll just take a nap

My lawyer thinks it’s a good idea
She says I’m overwhelmed
All she needs is my signature
Before she takes the helm

So, wake me up when it’s over
And tell me how it went
Wake me up when it’s over
Don’t forget to pay the rent
Wake me up when it’s over
And no matter what you do
Don’t consult me
No it won’t insult me
‘Cause I got faith in you

They’re all sure I’m gonna make it
As long as I don’t get in the way
So, I’m leaving it to my wife and my manager
And I’m calling it a day
My therapist says I should give up control
I’m bossy, I’m neurotic, I’m depressed
So, I’ve dug myself a great big hole
And that’s where I’m gonna rest

And wake me up when it’s over
And tell me what I did
Wake me up when it’s over
Just before you close the lid
Wake me up when it’s over
You're loyal, you're brave and you're true
Don’t consult me
No it won’t insult me
‘Cause I got faith in you

All the great men were just like me
Though most of them were creeps
They made their mark on history
While they were asleep

And wake me up when it’s over
And tell me who we’ve killed
Wake me up when it’s over
After all the blood’s been spilled
Wake me up when it’s over
Yeah it’s better if you do
Just keep your hand steady
Hell I’m sleepy already
But I got faith in you
