[Verse 1]
I melt away somewhere
Like a score turned to a ten
A pen to me's like a needle to them
I bleed the words out, come caving in

[Verse 2]
It hits me fast and I feel the ache
Don't know how much my heart can take
Dreams are made for sleeping
Cause they don't happen when I'm awake

[Pre-Chorus]
I fall asleep, I'll fly away
Into my own place far away
No ache, no pain, no hurt, no gain
This dream is my only escape

[Chorus]
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

[Verse 3]
I need more mind to spare
Pictures play 'till the lights aren't there
Consequential life affair
Into the past I constantly stare
[Verse 4]
It hits me loud and it hits me straight
Don't know how much my heart can take
Dreams are made for sleeping
Cause they don't happen when I'm awake

[Pre-Chorus]
I fall asleep, I'll fly away
Into my own place far away
No ache, no pain, no hurt, no gain
This dream is my only escape

[Chorus]
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
