Surrounded by the present, engulfed in the past Longing to embrace it, hoping forever can last Words can only cheapen this gift of living Hoping one day we'll be lucky enough to see The sparkle in both our eyes, the electricity That we both feel at touch Love should be at least that much Struggling with all the lies Standing head down, arms spread wide Lost and lonely again And wondering why Cause baby life's too short You gotta stop to see it And I don't know If I can keep this is a secret Cause I love you And I don't care who see's it If you told me I was dreamin' girl I would have believed it Don't wake me up Fighting the emotions that always overwhelm The fear that we loath in, hoping all will be well If we're only cheatin' by telling ourselves tales Then in the end we only end up cheating ourselves Just listening to the tide Sitting close as it rose high High, high above my knees As it comes to cover me Struggling with all the things Standing, wishing I had wings Without you it's hard to fight Just tell me why Cause baby life's too short You gotta stop to see it And I don't know If I can keep this is a secret Cause I love you And I don't care who see's it If you told me I was dreamin' girl I would have believed it Don't wake me up Don't wake me up, if I'm dreamin' Don't wake me up, cause I don't wanna believe Cause baby life's too short You gotta stop to see it And I don't know If I can keep this is a secret Cause I love you And I don't care who see's it If you told me I was dreamin' girl I would have believed it Don't wake me up
