[Verse 1]
Take a deep, waking breath
Hope the blood arrives
Burn my eyes with the sun
And pretend I'm alive
It never will appear
Strong as past desire
Light warming disappears
Like a cold, dead fire
[Pre-Chorus]
Should I fall, I fall down
Would you come, you come 'round?
[Chorus]
Wake me
Caught in the spell I'm dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away
[Verse 2]
Stagger on through the fog
In the midnight sun
Shouting out at the shapes
Of the namelеss no ones
All isn't what it seems
Cannot comprehend it
Captivе inside a dream
Where the dawn won't end it
Take a deep, waking breath
Hope the blood arrives
Burn my eyes with the sun
And pretend I'm alive
It never will appear
Strong as past desire
Light warming disappears
Like a cold, dead fire
[Pre-Chorus]
Should I fall, I fall down
Would you come, you come 'round?
[Chorus]
Wake me
Caught in the spell I'm dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away
[Verse 2]
Stagger on through the fog
In the midnight sun
Shouting out at the shapes
Of the namelеss no ones
All isn't what it seems
Cannot comprehend it
Captivе inside a dream
Where the dawn won't end it
[Pre-Chorus]
Should I fall, I fall down
Would you come, you come 'round?
[Chorus]
Wake me
Caught in the spell I'm dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Should I fall, I fall down
Would you come, you come 'round?
[Chorus]
Wake me
Caught in the spell I'm dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away
Should I fall, I fall down
Would you come, you come 'round?
[Chorus]
Wake me
Caught in the spell I'm dreaming
Wake me
Day after day, repeating
Wake me
Sleepwalk my life away
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Should I fall, I fall down
Would you come, you come 'round?

Wake me
Caught in the spell I'm dreaming
