Walk through those doors out your bus.
Try to stay awake but you barely ever respond.
It's like you're hiding in the dark.

Come to class. Sit and talk.
Nothing much to do 'round here.
Used to be too hyper,
but all you are now is a sleepyhead.

You used to be the most jumpy out of all of us,
but now I see what you meant when you said you were quiet in your home.
What has happened to the one
who once kept jumping off his cousin's couch?

Whatever happened to the active dude
who used to talk smack about everything?
Not used to waking up early yet?
Not liking that school has started?

I get it. It's cool.
No one's gonna wake up all excited and stuff.
Just hoped that you'd be more like yourself
instead of doing stuff
without anything behind it.

Why you gotta be such a sleepyhead?
Why don't you try to at least talk?
Why can't people just get along
without having to be awkward about the loudest silence?
Stop trying to go about your day,
and try to talk to me,
because it's all gonna be okay...

but sleepyheads don't listen;
they rarely ever talk
even if everything's going just fine,
as if nothing's wrong,
but what if it's not a phase?
Maybe you're feeling down.
We could just fix it all for you-
just like you would for me too...
at least I hope you would,
you sleepyhead.

It's not much longer when you start to wake up.
You start to actually talk and jump around like you used to.
Sleepyheads could only dream about what you do everyday

like I do.
