when I tried to wake up
all I saw was you
and you said to never make myself feel smaller for you
and I asked you why
and you said "why not?"
and I felt my heart start something I had no plans to stop

I'm not so ready for love
that I'd leave my dreams for the life above
but if you keep talking like that, would I?
so you know that love's a liar
but we're the ones on fire
is it like you to flee before goodbye?

so I will see you in my dreams
and I will wait for you to come to me
and convince me I'm not so much better by myself
can you see that I'm trapped here, alone inside myself?
stand up, it's getting loud
wake up, hear that sound
my sleeping heart, calling out to you
flowers, blooming out in
fractals, rainbow spirals and
forget-me-nots, shining blue
wake me up, so I can run to you
please wake me up, so I can run to you

now we're in the morning
and I'm wide awake
and it's churning in my stomach, all the things I can't say
like "this is scary," and "I'm so afraid"
you're so deep in my heart it'd tear if you pulled away

I know I'm never enough
and that I'm so unlucky in love
but if you keep talking like that, am I?
I just want you to say it back
'cause if it's not there, then I'm the lack
I'm selfish, I want you to be all mine

so I will see you in my dreams
and I will wait for you to come to me
you've convinced me I'm not so much better by myself
can you see that I'm trapped here, alone inside myself?
stand up, it's getting loud
wake up, hear that sound
my sleeping heart, calling out to you
flowers, blooming out in
fractals, rainbow spirals and
forget-me-nots, shining blue
wake me up, so I can run to you
please wake me up, so I can run to you

better days, better days
you give me better days
the dreamer wakes to a dreamlike gaze
I'd die to touch your face
and I never have the words to describe
how much good you've brought into my life
but if there's one thing that I can say
it's that my love for you grows day by day
hey, babe, my darling, my handsome man
you are the reason I've found to stand

'cause I saw you in my dreams
and I waited for you to come to me
you've convinced me I'm not so much better by myself
you saw that I'm trapped here, alone inside myself
stand up, it's getting loud
wake up, hear that sound
my sleeping heart, calling out to you
flowers, blooming out in
fractals, rainbow spirals and
forget-me-nots, shining blue
wake me up, so I can run to you
please wake me up, so I can run to you

the dreamer wakes to a dreamlike gaze
I'd die to touch your face
