[Intro] [Verse 1] Shadows dancing on the bedroom wall Telling stories of the times I’d fall Heavy breathing in the quiet dark Trying to find a single, saving spark I used to wake up spinning in the space Replaying every failure, every lost embrace But the midnight hours are shifting now The fever's breaking on my brow [Chorus] I’m turning nightmares into dreams tonight Washing the dark out with the morning light Every ghost that used to hold me down Is just a shadow in a quiet town Yeah, the worst of it is finally through I’m letting go of what I thought I knew Oh, the static clears, the ceiling beams I’m turning nightmares into beautiful dreams [Verse 2] Funny how the mind can build a cage Keep you trapped inside an older page Living out the fears you should've outgrown Feeling crowded when you're all alone But I am learning how to change the view To look at scars and see a breakthrough The heavy anchors that I used to drag Are just the colors of a brand new flag [Chorus] I’m turning nightmares into dreams tonight Washing the dark out with the morning light Every ghost that used to hold me down Is just a shadow in a quiet town Yeah, the worst of it is finally through I’m letting go of what I thought I knew Oh, the static clears, the ceiling beams I’m turning nightmares into beautiful dreams [Instrumental] [Bridge] It’s not a sudden magic, not a brilliant flash Just a steady building from the ash Choosing to believe the sun will rise Opening up a pair of tired eyes And seeing wide open spaces ahead... [Chorus] I’m turning nightmares into dreams tonight Washing the dark out with the morning light Every ghost that used to hold me down Is just a shadow in a quiet town Yeah, the worst of it is finally through I’m letting go of what I thought I knew Oh, the static clears, the ceiling beams I’m turning nightmares into beautiful dreams [Outro] Into beautiful dreams... No more running in the dark. Just wide open spaces. Nightmares to dreams. [End]
