Beatles - I'm Only Sleeping Song MeaningsLyrics:
When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed, float up stream

Fact is that John was a homebody, he was a people watcher at heart. He would observe, which is what a lot of highly intelligent people do. He wrote so many songs about different things he observed. "Keeping an eye on the world going by my window" Means no matter what is going on or how lazy he may appear to be, he is always aware of what is going on around him. "Lying there Staring there and staring at the ceiling" It was known that John until his death would sometimes just stay in bed for days, not even getting up to shower.
On lennon's last Album John writes a song called "watching the wheels" This song tackles the same topic. People where trying to get through to John telling him that he was crazy, and lazy all over again. The ironic line in watching the wheels, was went, "Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game" ...I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round. I really love to watch them roll"(could be compared to what he was doing a lot in 66......"keeping an eye on the world going by my window" from I'm Only Sleeping)
