I'm Only Sleeping
Vines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Early in the morning,
Lift my head,
I'm still yawnin',
Wake up in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed,
Float upstreamâ?¦
[Float upstream]
Please don't wake me,
No, don't shake me,
Leave me where I am
I'm only sleepin'
Everybody seems to think I'm lazy.
I don't mind,
I think they're crazy!
Runnin' everywhere at such a speed,
Till they find,
There's no meâ?¦
[there's no me]
Please don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away,
And after all,
I'm only sleepin'
Keepin' an eye
On the world goin' by
My window.
Takin' my time,
Lying here and staring at the ceiling,
Waiting for a sleepy feelingâ?¦
Please don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away,
And after all,
I'm only sleepin'
Keepin' an eye
On the world goin' by
My window.
Takin' my time,
When I wake up
Early in the morning
Lift my head
I'm still yawnin'
Wake up in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed,
Float upstreamâ?¦
[Float upstream]
Sleepin'
Sleepin'
Sleepin'
Sleepin'
The lyrics to The Beatles' song "I'm Only Sleeping," as interpreted by Vines, paint a picture of someone who wants to sleep in, despite being in the middle of a vivid dream. The song speaks to the idea of taking things at one's own pace and not being bothered by societal norms. The lyrics suggest that the singer prefers to stay in bed and "float upstream," rather than get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. The song encourages listeners to take a break, relax, and not let the opinions of others dictate how they choose to live their lives.
The opening lyrics imply that the singer has gone to bed late and is still sleepy when they wake up early in the morning. They describe feeling like they are still "yawnin'" and in the middle of a dream. Despite this, the singer doesn't want to get out of bed and face the day.
Later in the song, the lyrics refer to the singer being seen as lazy, but they don't care what others think. The lyrics suggest that the hustle and bustle of modern life is not for everyone and that it's okay to take things slowly. The singer acknowledges that they're "miles away" and doesn't want anybody to spoil their day. They prefer to keep an eye on the world going by their window and take their time.
Overall, the song's message is clear: sometimes it's okay to take things slow, relax, and do things at our own pace. We don't need to conform to societal norms and should live life on our own terms.

When I wake up
Early in the morning,
Lift my head,
I'm still yawnin',
Wake up in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed,
Float upstreamâ?¦
[Float upstream]
Please don't wake me,
No, don't shake me,
Leave me where I am

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy.

Runnin' everywhere at such a speed,
Till they find,
There's no meâ?¦

Please don't spoil my day,
I'm miles away,
And after all,

Lying here and staring at the ceiling,
Waiting for a sleepy feelingâ?¦
Please don't spoil my day,

And after all,
I'm only sleepin'
Keepin' an eye
On the world goin' by
My window.
Takin' my time,
When I wake up
Early in the morning
Lift my head
I'm still yawnin'
Wake up in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed,

¿Saben? Esta canción forma parte de la banda sonora de la película "I Am Sam" que consta de puros covers a los Beatles. La idea original era usar las canciones originales, pero como no obtuvieron los derechos les pidieron a algunas bandas hacer covers. Como la película se grabó con las canciones de los Beatles, las bandas debieron hacer los covers en el mismo tempo musical de las canciones originales. No fue culpa de los Vines en absoluto.

I usually don’t like cover song especially when it comes to my fave band the Beatles. But i love this version. Bc Craig’s voice is so soft as well as rough and it reminds me of Lennon’s voice.
