If this is not a dream, it's my mistake
And now I lie in wait for dawn to break
I'm fairly sure I'm wide awake
Pardon me, if I seem distant and strange
Just tell me when did I stop dreaming?
Let me get this straight
Did I hallucinate?
This fine and helpless feeling
Tell me when did I stop dreaming?
Let me know if you can help me explain
I didn't recognise the danger
But people will talk
Was I just sleepwalking?
Footprints left on the ceiling
Tell me when did I stop dreaming?
Then why should you care?
This is my nightmare
Was this one dream too deep?
Now if I could only sleep
Answer me, if you see the end in sight
I'm just a soul who's lost in limbo
Neither bad or good
I'd spare you now if I could
One more teardrop
Then I'll wake up
Tell me when did I stop dreaming?
You appeared when I was lost in reverie If this is not a dream, it's my mistake And now I lie in wait for dawn to break I'm fairly sure I'm wide awake Pardon me, if I seem distant and strange Just tell me when did I stop dreaming? Let me get this straight Did I hallucinate? This fine and helpless feeling Tell me when did I stop dreaming? Let me know if you can help me explain I didn't recognise the danger But people will talk Was I just sleepwalking? Footprints left on the ceiling Tell me when did I stop dreaming? Then why should you care? This is my nightmare Was this one dream too deep? Now if I could only sleep Answer me, if you see the end in sight I'm just a soul who's lost in limbo Neither bad or good I'd spare you now if I could One more teardrop Then I'll wake up Tell me when did I stop dreaming?
