lyrics

[Verse 1]
Running from me
As easy as it may seem
I fall to my knees
Every time I hear my heartbeat I feel alone and ashamed
Playin’ the game
Doing things I never thought I’d do, no
Living the dream
Man it ain’t easy

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I want
But you tell me I don’t know
Fighting for my confidence
While you slamming the door
But I know that you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared of the future
Yeah, you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared I’m the answer

[Chorus]
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up?
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah
Live in a dream, yeah
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?

[Post-Chorus]
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
When you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh

[Verse 2]
You wanna see all my scars (Ahh)
Get a little bit closer, you can
Tear them apart (Ahh)
Taste the blood in my fear
Make sure I’m ready to go (Ready to go)
Go with the flow (Go with the flow)
Never ask another question
‘Cause it’s all-good (Yeah don't you know?)
Yeah, "it’s all-good"

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I want
But you tell me I don’t know
Fighting for my confidence
While you slamming the door
But I know that you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared of the future
Yeah, you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared I’m the answer

[Chorus]
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up?
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah
Live in a dream, yeah
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?

[Post-Chorus]
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
When you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh

[Bridge]
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, baby?
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, baby?
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, baby?
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, oh!

[Chorus]
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up?
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah
Live in a dream, yeah
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
