Skillet Song Lyrics

Don't Wake Me

Lyrics:

I went to bed I was thinking about you
Ain't the same since I'm living without you
All the memories are getting colder
All the things that I wanna do over
Went to bed I was thinking about you
I wanna talk and laugh like we used to
When I see you in my dreams at night
It's so real but it's in my mind

[Pre:]
And now
I guess
This is as good as it gets

[Chorus:]
Don't wake me
'Cause I don't this dream
Don't wake me
'Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough
When it's you I'm dreaming of
I don't wanna wake up

I went to bed I was thinking about you
And how it when I finally found you
It's like a over in my head
Don't wanna look 'cause i know how it ends
All the words that I said that I wouldn't say
All the promises I made that I wouldn't break
It's last call, last song, last dance
'Cause I can't get you back, can't get a second chance

And now, I guess
This is as good as it gets

[Chorus:]
Don't wake me
'Cause I don't wanna leave this dream
Don't wake me
'Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough
When it's you I'm dreaming of
I don't wanna wake up
Don't wake me
We're together just you and me
Don't wake me
'Cause we're happy like we used
I know I've gotta let you go
But I don't wanna be alone.

[Bridge:]
These dreams of you keep on
It ain't a lot but it's all I have
Nothing to do but keep sleeping longer
Don't wanna stop cause I want you back

[Chorus:]
Don't wake me
'Cause I don't wanna leave this dream
Don't wake me
'Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough
When it's you I'm dreaming of
I don't wanna wake up
Don't wake me
We're together just you and me
Don't wake me
'Cause we're happy like we used to be
I know I've gotta let you go
But I don't wanna be alone.

I went to bed I was thinking about you
'Cause I don't wanna leave this dream
It ain't the same since I'm living without you.
'Cause I never seem to stay asleep enough
I know I've gotta let you go
But I don't wanna wake up.

Album: Awake

Year: 2009

Meaning: It's about someone you lost - either someone who broke up with you or died - and the fact that dreaming about them is the only time you're both together, which is why you never want to wake up.
