Sleepwalker Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say you wanna taste, then bottle me up
But I should warn you once is never enough (Ah, ah)
Zero to sixty from the second we touch
You say you're fallin' in love

[Pre-Chorus]
You just might get what you want
So you better think carefully
I'll have you answer the moons with me

[Chorus]
I'll turn you to a
Sleepwalker
Dream of me wherever you go
If I take you home, I'll turn you to a
Sleepwalker
Eyes are burnin' open or closed
Thought you should know, oh
I'm an obsession, not just a game

It feels like inception, stuck in your brain, oh
Sleepwalker
Dream of me wherever you go
Remember, I told you so

[Verse 2]
So call me karma for the hearts that you broke
What goes around comes back to kick down your door (Ah, ah)
I'll have you screamin' for the murder she wrote
Before you hit the pillow
[Pre-Chorus]
You just might get what you want
So you better think carefully
I'll have you answer the moons with me

[Chorus]
I'll turn you to a
Sleepwalker
Dream of me wherever you go
If I take you home, I'll turn you to a
Sleepwalker
Eyes are burnin' open or closed
Thought you should know, oh
I'm an obsession, not just a game
It feels like inception, stuck in your brain, oh
Sleepwalker
Dream of me wherever you go
Remember, I told you so

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'll turn you to a (Yeah)
Sleepwalker
Dream of me wherever you go
If I take you home, I'll turn you to a
Sleepwalker
Eyes are burnin' open or closed
Thought you should know, oh
I'm an obsession, not just a game
It feels like inception, stuck in your brain, oh
Sleepwalker
Dream of me wherever you go
Remember, I told you so

Genius Annotation

A standout from Ava Max’s sophomore effort Diamonds & Dancefloors, “Sleepwalker” is a song that shows Ava touting her confidence to the man who wants to pursue her. With a self-assured attitude she sends a cheeky warning for her pursuer to be careful. If he becomes too enamored, he will end up unable to resist her and ultimately become a sleepwalker from her love spell.

What did Ava Max say about "Sleepwalker"?
Genius Answer

‘Sleepwalker’ is one of my favourite songs on the album, especially because of the big guitar-sounding solo in it. It’s so much fun, and I think Cirkut murdered that. He’s such a talented producer; he’s the executive producer and backbone of the whole album.
