Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me (Album Version)

Track 3 from the 2000 BNL album, Maroon.

Lyrics:

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk, but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside

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 cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon.

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 cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch Me
Pinch Me
Cause I'm still asleep
Please God
Tell Me
That I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I Packed a car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say 'underwear'
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway

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 cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Try to figure out what all this is for

[Metal404Head]

I remember laying awake bed before the first day of middle school all freaked out.

Then this came on and not a single fuck was given for a few minutes.

[glesfringor]

best version, best song ^_^

[Hettepop]

[handyandyradio]

Ahhh...90's music. My favorite :)

[OHeyItsClara]

"I can hide out under there..... I just made you say underwear!"

A line I've never forgotten, and never will forget, as long as I live. Thanks to this song. :)

Does anybody have the version where tyler and steven talk in the middle?

[HollyShannen19]

Charmed 3x01 ! :)

This song means so much more to me than just working at a fast food restaurant. It's summer in the 90's, a man-child who is living what society would deem an adult life, but remembers what it was like to be a child and enjoy life the way he once did.
