Chorus
Wake me up when it’s over/
So I can go home/
When my dreams have gone to sleep/
And I’m awake

Verse 1
One of the first dreams I can remember having/
Was a nightmare, where, a monster was grabbing/
At me, tryna trap me, jaws snapping/
While I was gasping for breath, not sure what was happening/
I kept dashing from my room, but soon, I’d see/
My grandfather, and he was lookin for me/
And when he saw me he’d take me back/
To the room with the monster, and so the track/
Would repeat, over and over/
I had that dream, over and over/
Over and over, I’ve had bad dreams/
And nightmares and night terrors, and my screams/
Scared my parents when their child of two/
Would shriek bloody murder and his eyes of blue/
Were wide open, but he wouldn’t respond/
I’d stare right past them, already gone/

(Chorus)


Verse 2
Every night, I pray for no dreams, so that I might sleep in peace/
But many nights when I fall asleep, there ain’t no rest for me/
It seemed like every week that I would sneak, into my parents’ bed to try escape/
The frightening nightmares I had just had, cuz only with them was I safe/
And now, the dreams still come, but I can’t run away anymore/
I still feel like that scared little boy, sprinting from the bed to the door/
And for the past ten nights, I’ve had ten fights, with the visions popping up in my head/
I’ve dreamed of fights and fear and then, I dreamed that my father was dead/
Believe me, I don’t wanna see that stuff, specially cuz it feels so real/
So I read every night till I almost faint, so I don’t have to see or feel/
Anything, but I do, but I do, every single night when I turn out the lights/
I’ve dreaded sleep, for most of my life/
I’m so sick and tired of these sleepless nights/

(Chorus)

Outro:
Wake me up/
Lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling/
On more night that these dreams keep stealing
(Repeated and fades out)
