Lyrics
Midnight breathing… curtains barely move
City humming low… wrapped around the room
I used to chase the dark just to drift away
Close my eyes, let another world replay
But now the silence doesn’t feel the same
Every thought of you keeps calling my name
I turn the pillow, feel the hours pass
Shadows on the ceiling, but they don’t last
‘Cause every second waking next to you
Feels like something I don’t wanna lose
No, I don’t need to dream tonight
Don’t need to leave this light
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep
‘Cause reality’s finally better than your dreams
Wide awake in a moment I don’t wanna end
Every breath, every touch pulling me in
I used to fade into another scene
Now I’m right here living something I can’t leave
You know you’re in love… you know what it means
When reality’s better than your dreams
Streetlight painting gold across your skin
Quiet kind of magic pulling me in
Every little detail feels so real
More than anything I used to feel
No illusion, no escape I need
You’re the only place I wanna be
Time slows down when you’re this close to me
And I don’t wanna miss a single beat
No, I don’t need to close my eyes
I’m already inside
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep
‘Cause reality’s finally better than your dreams
Wide awake in a moment I don’t wanna end
Every breath, every touch pulling me in
I used to fade into another scene
Now I’m right here living something I can’t leave
You know you’re in love… you know what it means
When reality’s better than your dreams
No more running… no disguise
I found truth in your eyes
Let the night just pass me by
I don’t need to say goodbye
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep
‘Cause reality’s finally better than your dreams
Wide awake in a moment I don’t wanna end
Every breath, every touch pulling me in
I used to fade into another scene
Now I’m right here living something I can’t leave
You know you’re in love… you know what it means
When reality’s better than your dreams
Stay awake… stay with me
No more dreams… just reality
Stay awake… endlessly
You’re all I need… you’re all I need…
