[Verse]
Midnight whispers, I was floatin’ in the deep,
Driftin’ on a cloud in the velvet of my sleep.
Had a dream I was flyin’ over city lights,
Feelin’ free, feelin’ right, under moonlit heights.
Then outta nowhere, like a thunderclap,
My leg kicked up, heart beat like a trap.
Felt like I fell from the edge of the sky,
Woke up starin’ at the ceilin’, wonderin’ why.
[Chorus]
It jerked me out my dreams,
Like a ghost pulled the strings.
From calm to chaos in a blink,
Thought I was fallin’ from the brink.
Oh, sleep was sweet, now I’m wide awake,
Feelin’ like my soul just hit the brakes.
Body said “you good,” but mind said “nah,
You just did the hypnic jerk cha-cha.”
[Verse]
Tried to play it cool, like it ain’t no thing,
But my blanket flew like it grew some wings.
My phone lit up, like “you alright?”
I said, “Yeah, just fought the air tonight.”
I be dreamin’ deep like a movie scene,
Till my nerves tap out like a drama queen.
My feet do the tango, my arms take flight,
I swear I box invisible things at night.
[Chorus]
It jerked me out my dreams,
Like a ghost pulled the strings.
From calm to chaos in a blink,
Thought I was fallin’ from the brink.
Oh, sleep was sweet, now I’m wide awake,
Feelin’ like my soul just hit the brakes.
Body said “you good,” but mind said “nah,
You just did the hypnic jerk cha-cha.”
[Bridge]
Is it stress? Is it fate?
Is it just my sleepy brain runnin’ late?
Whatever it is, I know it’s real —
When your nap hits back, that’s a whole new deal.
[Chorus]
It jerked me out my dreams,
Like a ghost pulled the strings.
From calm to chaos in a blink,
Thought I was fallin’ from the brink.
Oh, sleep was sweet, now I’m wide awake,
Feelin’ like my soul just hit the brakes.
Body said “you good,” but mind said “nah,
You just did the hypnic jerk cha-cha.”
