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

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

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

Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

I need more mind to spare
Pictures play 'till the lights aren't there
Consequential life affair
Into the past I constantly stare

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

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

Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
