Sleep All Day Lyrics
His after moan though cries oh no
He's building up a shine but he take it slow
And he knows it time to make a change here And time to get away
And he knows it's time for all the wrong reasons And time to end the pain
But he sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
Why don't we?
She said, what would you're mother think of all this, how would you father react oh
would they take it all back, what they've done?
the way they said take it, take it
he said make it with your own two hands
that was my old man and he said
if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it
oh what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie
recalling of the while we used to drive and drive here and there
going nowhere but for us, nowhere but for the two of us
and we knew it was time to take a chance here
and time to compromise our lives for awhile
and it was time for all the wrong reasons
but time is often on my side and I give it to you tonight
and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
as time goes by we get a little bit tired waking and baked another Marlboro mile wide
it's sending the boys on the run in the time in hot summer sun
to swim beneath or over outside as they're reading between the lines
then they remember the part in the hallmark card where they read about the dreams
and reaching for the stars to hold on a little bit closer to
and they knew it was time, time to take a chance here
time to compromise our little lives for just a little while
and they knew it was time for all the wrong reasons
as time is often on my side and I give it to you, oh boy
and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
She said, what would you're mother think of all this, how would you father react oh
would they take it all back, what they've done?
the way they said take it, take it
he said make it with your own two hands
that was my old man and he said
if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it
He's building up a shine but he take it slow
And he knows it time to make a change here And time to get away
And he knows it's time for all the wrong reasons And time to end the pain
But he sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
Why don't we?
would they take it all back, what they've done?
the way they said take it, take it
he said make it with your own two hands

and we knew it was time to take a chance here

and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again

if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it

Can anyone tell me what they think this song means?
this song has been stuck in my head all day!!
i agree with most of the people here. i believe this song is about takin' it easy. Though we already know what to do to achieve our gol, we'd rather do something else more fun !!
definitely one of the soundtracks of my life. hugs for jason!
I think this song is about taking a rest. I think the narrator is a typical young adult that's busy, over-worked, and reminiscent of times when there were fewer responsibilities. He's maybe finally gotten a chance to rest - and now he's thinking that maybe this is really what life is about - sleeping all day, chilling, enjoying life. But he also knows that there is more to life - he has things he wants to accomplish. He knows that it will take hard work compromise to acheive what he wants to do.
I think he brings up his mother and father because he's drawing inspiration from them. They have sacrificed throughout life, but thier sacrifices have brought them satisfaction and fulfillment "would they take it all back what they've done? no way" I don't know - that's just my interpretation - maybe a bit skewed....this is basically a description of myself - maybe that's why I love this song so much. God I wish I could just sleep all day.
i think this song is just about chilling with the one you love unno screw everything work,college cleaning up watever u just want to hang n 4get about ur worries for a minute...
A song that's about escaping the reality for a moment, being with the girl you love regardless of what others may say or think about you, and taking the time to grow your relationship together by compromising with each other or making love.
Mraz is really poetic and tends to add a bit more drama into his lyrics sometimes. That's what people like about him, he's really a great artist and he never forgets to connect to his audience always.
i likeeee this song.....
' She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord ' good songgg
knowing what you gotta do may it be in life or love most people choose to just leave it and not do anything about it

Freshman year college. This song was always on the radio, in the car, we would always sing it like we meant it, everyone would turn to me and tell me everytime it was playing, hey, it's your song - I'm what got my friends loving it.
It's only been a few months, but I don't think we remember how to sleep all day anymore.
