Only when you sleep

Baby it's just a dream that's keeping you awake

It's just a dream that's making you shake

It's just a dream and soon it'll be gone

You think you control it

What you don't really know is

That it's controlling you

The fear of leaving and the nightmare of sleeping

Not all your dreams come true

It's only when you sleep when you sleep it all goes wrong

In a moment of weakness

You try to resolve this feeling you can't explain

Then you notice it's not what you wanted

You're driving yourself insane

It's only when you sleep when you sleep it all goes wrong

It's only when you sleep it's only when you sleep

I could hold you I could save you yeah I could keep you from harm

Cause she sleeps in a bad dream

And she wakes in a movie scene next to one who cares

It's only when you sleep only when you sleep it all goes wrong

Cause she thinks she controls it she thinks she knows it

It's just a dream just a lonely dream and then you wake
