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
