Those nights...
taken over by your appearance....

Just some dream to me
to think that it was real....
If only it were...
maybe I could actually stay.

I open my eyes to this familiar world.
I see everything I could imagine.
Look at all these clouds-
am I in heaven?
Then I see you walking by-
you're too familiar to ignore.
Tell me this is real.
Maybe it is-maybe it isn't.
It's like the best version of the world,
but I think something's off.

Could've just ignored it-
the feeling that something's going wrong.
Should've never felt like
it was all my fault.
Those dark nights used to be forgettable,
but now all I see are the people that I love, 'cause

you're one hell of a dream,
whether it'd small or big
or a huge damn scary nightmare.
Keep me up late at night
even when I'm sound asleep.
Why do you keep doing this to me,
when you're probably living your best life?

Every night seems to go by normal-
no weird dreams that I can remember to this day,
but my mind always pictures
the weirdest moments
at the weirdest times.

There are those nights
where you walk amidst a normal dream
where you stand out above all the rest.
It makes me remember that I still miss you,
even if you're far away-
even if you might not even remember me.

Then there are nights
when you're haunting me,
whether it'd be because you're gone
or because I was never there
until you left,

but yet I never wanna wake up every time.
Finding the way up through my clouds,
softer than the best days of my life.
It's as if there's nothing to wake up to,
so why not just live here?
Never felt more alive
while deep in this rapid eye movement.

Never want all of this to end...
is this something we could mend?
What if this is going too far
from reality?
Maybe I should get back to what's real,
but don't you think this feels too right
to only just leave every night
when I could be dreaming of something better?

'Cause I never wanna wake up-
wake up from all the comfort of resting in dreams-
dreams too much for the cruel world to handle.
Imagine if this was it-
we'd all be flying in a bubble.
It's like sleep paralysis
when I'm so unaware of my surroundings.
Hopefully I don't fall of a cliff and hit hard
on to my bed and only then would I wake up.

Imagine if I never met you:
Well then I wouldn't even be writing corny ass poetry, wouldn't I?
'Cause of you, you are here
even though you don't know that you've been right there-
right there by the well
of raindrops from me and my misery all because of you.
What the hell should I do?
I wanna forget you, but what's the use?
But all I really need are these dreams because

I never wanna wake up to the damn evil world
where dreams and lives tend to die out of sadness.
Why can't I just stay here
where anything unexpected
can come my way,
but it's all good?
At least from a certain perspective
where unique things can keep me asleep
and leave me wanting to never wake up.

Unfortunately, not everything here
is the best that it could be.
If we're all feeling down-
even if we're all about to die,
we could end up falling and falling
until I hit my own mattress
and wake
up.

Bet there are times in these dreams when you ain't feeling right.
All I would want from you is to actually feel happy.
If only you knew this is how I am outside of this.
Why else would you think there are times when I just

don't wanna wake up...
if I wake up, you still won't be there.
No matter how much I wanna dream,
you just won't be here as you are
whenever I close my eyes....

What is this life-seems like heaven to me?
Why did it have to be you-
why couldn't I forget forever
instead of swimming in this pleasure?
Really think that love will remember?
Life never always works like our dreams do,
but then again,
dreams tend to stray off like there ain't no tomorrow.

Sometimes when I walk into a room, I see things-
things no child like me should ever have to experience.
Kissing... clothes off...
topping... bottoming...
panting... moaning-
waking up having to change myself.

Wish I could just stay here forever
and keep rocking along to these bodies
instead of worrying about my purity
and just keep doing it until I'm too wet.
Maybe I could actually do things
that I wouldn't be able to do in real life.
Yeah, I could totally play ball.
Imagine if you actually skidded across the mud.
Dreams like that would help me
implant fake memories
that are better than the real thing.

I don't want to wake up from here ever.
I'd rather you lock me up here
than let me go off into the daytime.
Just keep me down at night.
You can do things to me and I might stay.
Life is so boring and empty outside.
I've never felt better than ever.
Whisper me things that I want to hear.
Tell me secrets that I'll never share,
because I'll be stuck up here with you.

Wait, is it ending?
Why do I see a light?
Won't I be back?
Please tell me I'll see you again.
Hopefully none of your nightmares
ever have to replace you.
My eyes... I see the light.
I can hear those alarms....

Never wake me up.
