Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Sometimes when I lie awake I can feel the world take shape
into these things that I did not wish for
But that's alright cause I can change and make all these things rearrange into
something better for you..ah yeah

Chorus 1:
And its a dog day afternooohooooohoon
Leave it all behind we ain't got nothing left to lose
And it's a dog day afternoon
I think I'll stay in bed just staring at you, cause your beautiful, oh so beautiful to me

Verse 2:
And then sometimes you'd dream awake just sittin there watching my world take shape
into nothing but this foolish dreaming
But thats alright cause I'm ok ain't goin anywhere anyway and
anyway all I want is you

Chorus 2:
And its a dog day afternooohooooohooon
Not a care in the world just sittin hear watching your flowers bloom
And it's a dog day afternoon
I think Ill stay in bed cause your beautiful, oh so beautiful too me….oh so beautiful

Verse 3/Pre-Bridge
And then sometimes we'd dream awake just sittin here watching her world take shape
and just like everyone else she gives and she taaaaakes

Bridge:
And we build these things up just to watch them all break
We trip and fall twice and still call them mistakes
We curse at the world when everything's great
Never thankful for the breath that we taaaaaaake

Chorus 3:
And its a dog day afternoohooooohoon
Leave it all behind we ain't got nothing left to lose
And it's a dog day afternoon
I think I'll stay in bed just staring at you, cause your beautiful, oh so beautiful to me…oh so beautiful

Sometimes when I lie awake
I can watch the world take shape
