"Don't wake me… I ain’t ready yet" "Don’t wake me… still got dreams to get" "Don’t wake me… let the night run looooooong" [Verse 1 – Slow, Conversational, Personal] Told me, "Rest, let the night take hold" ("Don’t wake me… I ain’t ready yet") Told me, "Time don’t heal, but it moves too slow" ("Don’t wake me… still got dreams to get") Said my name in the dark, but the dark won’t speak ("Don’t wake me… let the night run long") Only sound that I hear is the floorboards creak Ever laid in a bed that feel too wide? Ever talked to the past ‘til it talks in replies? Ever counted your sins like you counting sheep? Ever prayed so hard that you fell asleep? [Hook] "Don't wake me… I ain’t ready yet" "Don’t wake me… still got dreams to get" "Don’t wake me… let the night run looooooong" [Verse 2 – Faster, More Urgent Flow Shift] Clock hands stumble, pulse tap low ("Don’t wake me… I ain’t ready yet") Brain on fire, but my body froze ("Don’t wake me… still got dreams to get") Pacing through a house where the doors don’t close ("Don’t wake me… let the night run long") Shadows in the hall got a face I know ("Don’t wake me… ‘til the pain all gone") Said I’d move on, but the night won’t quit Wrote my name in the dust, now the dust won’t lift Ran from the past, but it run too quick (Don’t wake me, don’t wake me, don’t wake me up…) Tried to leave, but the key don’t fit [Hook ] "Don't wake me… I ain’t ready yet" "Don’t wake me… still got dreams to get" "Don’t wake me… let the night run looooooong" [Bridge] What’s a dream if the time don’t pass? ("Don’t wake me… I ain’t ready yet") What’s a night if it always lasts? What’s a name if the voice don’t call? What’s a fall if you never fall? [FADE]
