When I start at the bottom then go back to the top Walk a mile's worth of hallway, turn around and stop There's a grave in the bedroom, there's a book up on a shelf There's a piece of my family that I can't help Don't wake me up I'm dreaming Don't wake me up I'm dreaming Don't wake me up I'm dreaming Don't wake me up, wake me up yeah Said goodbye to my mother, said goodbye to all my friends Said goodbye to my lover, how it always ends Say goodbye to my sister, if I lost the battle then No more weight on my shoulders, no more failing them Don't wake me up I'm dreaming Don't wake me up I'm dreaming Don't wake me up I'm dreaming Don't wake me up, wake me up yeah Did they know I would love her when they made her from my rib I don't know in my heart if I gave all that I could give Don't wake me up I'm dreaming Don't wake me up I'm dreaming Don't wake me up I'm dreaming Don't wake me up, wake me up yeah
