lyrics

When I wake up to the dawn
I just slip into the sheets and put my sunglasses on
You just lecture, you can't teach me
I need pleasure, you can't please me
Will it ever be as easy as sweet dreams
Well just let my body lay and I might sleep my life away
'Cause I don't want to see the day that I'll be
Standing on my own two feet again
You can say what you will and you can be my friend
But you can't control the fate of what will happen in the end
I'm just hearing what you're sayin' and I think we should be layin'
In our beds hoping and praying for sweet dreams
Well just let my body lay and I might sleep my life away
'Cause I don't want to see the day that I'll be
Standing on my own two feet again
If I wait for you to fall asleep then
I might not get the chance to fall and dream again
You know once in awhile, in a lifetime, we only get one chance
But it's better than the ladder, it's a crying conversation
It aint over, it gets worse, it's a struggle everday
Did I make it alright? Did I?
I'm never standing on my feet again
Sweet dreams, woah, sweet dreams
Somethings in life aint ever gonna be as easy as they seem
I'm just hearing what you're sayin' and I think we should be layin'
In our beds hoping and praying for sweet dreams
