Wake Up
Last night I saw a strange specter
I didn't expect her in frayed leather
With lavished lips two shades redder
And she'd never looked better
This illusion I've been led around
Makes it harder to forget how
Sleeping desires could be kept down
They're standing still inside my head now
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I know it's never real, but it makes me feel like I haven't in years
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I live only for these moments even if they're meant to disappear
I'll let you haunt me when you want to
You know I love it when you saunter
Through my dreams and gently taunt me
With your perfect pale body
And when I think I've finally caught you
It's just my pillow and not you
So I'll go back in for round two
And try to find you on cloud nine soon
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I know it's never real, but it makes me feel like I haven't in years
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I live only for these moments even if they're meant to disappear
I'd lie dead in a coma
If it meant that you'd come over
We could get back to bad old habits
But that ain't gonna happen
I won't settle for defeat now
But you've settled for his dreams somehow
And even when he wakes up
You're still putting on your sweaters
And you've never looked better
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I know it's never real, but it makes me feel like I haven't in years
Oh, oh, I just want to wake up next to you
I live only for these moments even if they're meant to disappear
(If they're meant to disappear)
Last night I saw a strange specter
He said she'd never looked better
I didn't expect her in frayed leather
With lavished lips two shades redder
And she'd never looked better
This illusion I've been led around
Makes it harder to forget how
Sleeping desires could be kept down
They're standing still inside my head now
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I know it's never real, but it makes me feel like I haven't in years
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I live only for these moments even if they're meant to disappear
I'll let you haunt me when you want to
You know I love it when you saunter
Through my dreams and gently taunt me
With your perfect pale body
And when I think I've finally caught you
It's just my pillow and not you
So I'll go back in for round two
And try to find you on cloud nine soon
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I know it's never real, but it makes me feel like I haven't in years
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I live only for these moments even if they're meant to disappear
I'd lie dead in a coma
If it meant that you'd come over
We could get back to bad old habits
But that ain't gonna happen
I won't settle for defeat now
But you've settled for his dreams somehow
And even when he wakes up
You're still putting on your sweaters
And you've never looked better
Oh, no, I don't want to wake up
I know it's never real, but it makes me feel like I haven't in years
Oh, oh, I just want to wake up next to you
I live only for these moments even if they're meant to disappear
(If they're meant to disappear)
Last night I saw a strange specter
He said she'd never looked better
