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
