Lyrics

I keep dreaming of you in the dead of the night,

Every frame’s a movie that I don’t wanna fight,

You’re laughing in the corners of a world I can’t keep,

So I close my eyes tighter just to stay in too deep.

No alarms, no daylight pulling me apart,

No distance, no silence, no breaking my heart,

Reality’s a stranger, I don’t recognize the scene,

But you’re right here with me every time I dream.

Yeah, I know it’s fake, but it feels so real,

And I’d trade everything for what I feel—

So keep me asleep, don’t wake me up,

I found you here and that’s enough,

I don’t need the world outside these sheets,

If loving you is just a dream, then keep me asleep.

I don’t need to eat, I don’t need to breathe,

If you’re right here lying next to me,

I never got tied to a place or street,

I got tethered to you so keep me asleep.

I was never the type to stay in one lane,

Always running from the past, always dodging the pain,

Never rooted down, never called somewhere home,

‘Til your voice found mine in a place unknown.

Now I’m chasing shadows just to feel your touch,

And I’m losing track of what is real too much,

But if waking up means I lose what we keep,

Then I’m diving back down where the silence runs deep.

Yeah, I know it’s wrong, but it feels so right,

You’re the only truth I see at night—

So keep me asleep, don’t wake me up,

I found you here and that’s enough,

I don’t need the world outside these sheets,

If loving you is just a dream, then keep me asleep.

I don’t need to eat, I don’t need to breathe,

If you’re right here lying next to me,

I never got tied to a place or street,

I got tethered to you so keep me asleep.

If I open my eyes, will you disappear?

Will the silence come back, loud and clear?

I’d rather stay lost in a lie that’s sweet,

Than wake up alone on these empty streets.

Yeah, the world can wait, I don’t need relief,

If forever’s a dream, don’t wake me please.

So keep me asleep, don’t wake me up,

I found you here and that’s enough,

I don’t need the world outside these sheets,

If loving you is just a dream, then keep me asleep.

I don’t need to eat, I don’t need to breathe,

If you’re right here lying next to me,

I never got tied to a place or street,

I got tethered to you so keep me asleep.

Yeah, keep me asleep…

If that’s the only place you’ll ever be with me.
