Dreaming Wide Awake

Too late, the melody is over

The joke seems to be on me

Cause I'm the one not laughing

Down here on the floor

Deflate the mystery of living

In the most heartless fashion I could ever imagine

No pretense of decor



Chorus



Another place and time

Without a great divide

And we could be flying deadly high

I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake



Another place and time

Without a warning sign

And we could be dying angel style

I'll sell my soul to dream you wide awake



I'll dream you, I'll dream you, I'll dream you wide awake



With me disaster finds a playfield

Love seems to draw dark, twisted pleasure tearing at me

Cause I cannot let you go

Mercy! Like water in the desert

Shines through my memory like jewelry in the sun

Where are you now?



Chorus



It's like I'm racing to the sun

Blindly face the blazing gun

Cause I'm afraid I will be left here without you

Like I'm racing not to run

Give me more when I have none

Cause I'm afraid I will be left here without you



Wide awake, wide awake



Chorus
