The way the sheets feel on my face, I never wanna leave this place

Last night I had a dream we were running through a lavender field

The sunset at our backs, yeah you told me how you feel

And it's like I'm waking up from paradise now

I can't fall back asleep

Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me

Took a spoonful of reality, tasted like cherry cough syrup to me

Took a cab to the other side of town

Got out, started walking around

And it's like I'm waking up from paradise now

I can't fall back asleep

Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me

And I'll never forget your strawberry lips and how they tasted like chocolate

Oh I won't forget you promised we'd meet again, but summer's over, and I'm feeling much older

So, I dye my hair brown and put on a frown

Oh, it's like I'm waking up from paradise now

I can't fall back asleep

Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me

And hope is all I have left, so I hope you won't forget

And dreams are all I've got, so I find myself sleepwalking a lot

Sleepwalking a lot

And it's like I'm waking up from paradise now

I can't fall back asleep

Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me

Oh I'm waking up from paradise, no I can't fall back asleep

Waking up from paradise, and you're not beside me
