lyrics

I Only Dream When I’m Awake

Verse 1
I only dream when I’m awake
Sliding into breaking of a new day
Salivating on what can be made
When you are young and brave

Pre-chorus 1
No more aching for a dying day
No more flaking or flying away

Chorus 1
You ask me what I mean
There’s no way to know, no way that can be seen
You get what you can take
I only dream when I’m awake

Verse 2
I only see with my eyes closed
Listening to what my heart already knows
Not trying hard, not buzzing on repeat
That’s when I feel the beat

Pre-chorus 2
No more aching for a dying day
No more flaking or flying away

Chorus 2
You ask me what I mean
There’s no way to know, no way that can be seen
You get what you can take
I only dream when I’m awake

Bridge
When I’m awake
When I’m awake
When I’m awake

Chorus 3 (double)
You ask me what I mean
There’s no way to know, no way that can be seen
You get what you can take
I only dream when I’m awake
You ask me what I mean
There’s no way to know, no way that can be seen
You get what you can take
I only dream when I’m awake

Verse 3
It starts within, it leads without
Any regulations or restrictions route
It’s in the freedom of “not making sense”
It’s in your love to dance
