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
