Lyrics:
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)
