Staying up through the night cause I can't sleep
When I dream it's you I see, no I just can't sleep
When I'm awake, it's not like you disappear
What I see, you're like a ghost, not like a white sheet
It's more than that, it's different, more like a memory
When I'm awake, it's not like you disappear
I can't hold on
But I can't let go
Why spend all day dreaming
I'm awake, I'm alive, oh I'm breathing
Why spend all day dreaming
I'm awake, I'm alive, oh I'm breathing
And I'll keep repeating
All the lessons I know that you're teaching me
Why spend all day dreaming
I'm awake, I'm alive, oh I'm breathing
Either my head's in the clouds, where I just can't breathe
Or hanging down and underground, where I just can't breathe
If I'm in my head, who's out there being me
I can't go far enough away at the end of the day
I can't forget, but I don't have to throw it all away
I'll take away something I'll never leave
I'm holding on
But I'm letting go
Why spend all day dreaming
I'm awake, I'm alive, oh I'm breathing
Why spend all day dreaming
I'm awake, I'm alive, oh I'm breathing
And I'll keep repeating
All the lessons I know that you're teaching me
Why spend all day dreaming
I'm awake, I'm alive
Oh I'm breathing
Oh I'll keep repeating
It's not fair to you if I'm not here
Cause I'm the only one who can
Be right here where I am
Why spend all day dreaming
I'm awake, I'm alive, oh I'm breathing
Why spend all day dreaming
I'm awake, I'm alive, oh I'm breathing
And I'll keep repeating
All the lessons I know that you're teaching me
Why spend all day dreaming
I'm awake, I'm alive, oh I'm breathing
