lyrics
last night… when i fell asleep.. i… i slipped into a dream..
and you was falling falling falling falling falling falling deep in love with me...
and i could not imagine any other sweeter thing that there could ever be…
but then when i awoke, my heart was still broke,
mr. sandman played a joke, on me
and now my days, are only filled with pain,
if i could just remain, in my dreams…
last night… when i had a dream .. i .. i never wanted to leave…
cus you was hugging kissing smooching necking cuddling licking loving up on me..
and you felt so real i couldn't tell the difference between existence and fantasy..
now when i'm awake, my heart just aches,
oh can't i catch a break, please..
now my days, are only filled with pain,
if i could just remain, in my dreams..
then life would be so wonderful and whimsical and magical
and love would always be enough, and it would just be the two of us
i never want to leave my dreams, i never want to lose these things
keep the world you're living in, i'd rather have my REM,
and you can keep your emotions, just please release my seratonin,
and you can analyze my notions, i don't care, Jung or Freudian,
i never want to leave my dreams, oh why oh why, can't i just sleep
i never want a conscious mess, so please oh please just let me rest,
i never wanna wake again, if you're not by me in my bed,
oh don't let that nightmare come true, cus baby all i want is…
you..
