I blink... and find myself wide awake!
But in your presence, I hesitate
I'm alive! (I'm alive)

This is not a nightmare in disguise!
Welcome to bittersweet reality!
Verse 3
I navigate my dreams
Bounce up and down,
Somersaults replaced each step
And I wake up miserable, filled with nothing but regrets!

You know the world won't stop
life can't wait
With all the time in the world
It seems our years have gone to waste!

[Laughter] (Hahaha!)
hoping that, one day!
the darkness gets repelled by your stunning smile!

Admit my mind's a jumbled mess
