[instrumental intro] [Verse 1] When my mind hits the ceiling I'm drowning in feelings Don't know where I am or where I've gone When I wake, you're fading My faith's been breaking Not sure what I'm holding on Your voice like an echo Running through my head slow Like a ghost I can't outrun Every night I see you Every time I need to You're already on the run [Pre-Chorus] Oh, it's obvious, you're heaven-sent Why'd it take so long To fall crashing through my head again Right as sleep comes on? [Chorus] I've been seeing strangers in my sleep again Falling deeper than I've ever been Only talking in my sleep Only find you in my dreams I've been taking more of my medicine Just to go back where it all began Tell me where you are, baby Tired of playing hide and seek [Verse 2] I've been hiding all the things I'm seeing Too afraid to know what's fake or real Every morning leaves me empty Every night you reappear We pretend that it's nothing But the silence says something Every second pulls me under Every dream gets a little bit darker Every night I want you stronger [Pre-Chorus] Oh it's obvious, you're heaven-sent Why'd it take so long To fall crashing through my head again Right as sleep comes on? [Chorus] I've been seeing strangers in my sleep again Falling deeper than I've ever been Only talking in my sleep Only find you in my dreams I've been taking more of my medicine Just to go back where it all began Tell me where you are, baby Tired of playing hide and seek [Bridge (tension build)] Your shadow moves through the dark again Every whisper pulling me back in I feel your breath like it's under my skin But when I reach you disappear again Every night I swear I'm getting close Every step you fade just like a ghost I'm wide awake but I can't let you go And I'm losing my mind in the afterglow So if this dream is all I get Then fuck it—I ain't waking yet [Hook / Breakdown] You disappear again Every time I wake Yeah, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it, fuck it all Stop Dreams keep running Mind keeps spinning Where the hell'd you go tonight? Fuck the silence I just want you back inside my mind There'll be no bad dreams There'll be no bad dreams There'll be no bad dreams If you stay with me When you're gone, gone There'll be no bad dreams Just an empty sleep [Final Chorus (bigger ending)] I've been seeing strangers in my sleep again Falling deeper than I've ever been Only talking in my sleep Only find you in my dreams I've been taking more of my medicine Just to go back where it all began Tell me where you are, baby Tired of playing hide and seek Tell me where you are, baby Before I wake from this dream
