Wake the Dead

 Last night I saw you standing over me

I couldn’t shake the feeling it must be a dream

 

I wouldn’t wake up

I wanted it to last

I’d stay here in this moment, live in our past

 

And I keep screaming, just trying to wake the dead

Are you listening?

I can feel you breathing like you’re here with me

Are you listening?

We can fight back, just don’t fall asleep

 

It was so cold beside you, I lied to make us both believe

I held you tightly to me as you fell asleep

 

You couldn’t fight it

I had to face alone

That this time you weren’t coming back to me

And I keep screaming, just trying to wake the dead

 

Are you listening?

I can feel you breathing like you’re here with me

Are you listening?

We can fight back, just don’t fall asleep

 

Are you listening?

I can feel you breathing like you’re here with me

Are you listening?

We can fight back, just don’t fall asleep

 

Are you listening?

I tell myself don’t hold you, let you rest in peace

Are you listening?

Tell me you can hear me, just don’t fall asleep
