Meet Me When I’m Sleeping

V6

[Verse 1] You show up dragging metal, drawing sparks across the wall. I should probably start retreating, I just smile because you called. You lean in like a warning, I lean closer like a fool. You keep trying to be frightening, I keep thinking you look cool. You raise your hand, I lose my train of thought. You make a threat, I hear everything it's not. Maybe fear just missed the meeting. Maybe something's wrong with me. You're trying hard to make me panic. I'm wondering if you're free. [Pre-Chorus] You say, "Run." I say, "Where?" You say, "Scream." I fix my hair. You came looking for a victim. Sorry, babe. I'm just happy you're here. [Chorus] Meet me when I'm sleeping, you know I'll be there. Everybody fights to wake up, I'm just trying to stay. Meet me when I'm sleeping, stay until the morning comes. You can make the whole world fear you. I just think I'm falling in love. [EDM Build] Don't wake me. Don't wake me. Not when he's this close. Everybody calls it a nightmare. I call it coming home. [Massive Euphoric EDM Drop] [Verse 2] My alarm went off between us, worst timing I've ever seen. I spent breakfast getting angry at a perfectly innocent machine. Took a nap before my plans, just to pick up where we stopped. You appeared like, "Are you serious?" Yeah. What'd you expect? You scrape those blades together, I get butterflies instead. You threaten me with consequences, I scoot closer on the bed. You keep rehearsing ways to scare me. I'm admiring your technique. Freddy, if this is supposed to haunt me, could you haunt me twice a week? [Pre-Chorus] You say, "Run." I say, "Why?" You roll your eyes. I think that's nice. You came looking for a victim. Now I'm scheduling my naps around your time. [Chorus] Meet me when I'm sleeping, you know I'll be there. Everybody fights to wake up, I'm just trying to stay. Meet me when I'm sleeping, stay until the morning comes. You can make the whole world fear you. I just think I'm falling in love. [Post-Chorus] Let them fight their sleep. I'm diving straight into mine. If loving you means dreaming, I'll see you every time. [EDM Build] Come find me. Come find me. You know where I've been. If this is what they call a nightmare... LET ME BACK IN! [Massive EDM Drop] [Bridge] You asked me once why I never run. I tried to find a clever answer. Couldn't think of one. So here's the embarrassing truth. I like when you show up. I like when you stay. I like how everybody sees a monster, and I still wanna see your face. You can sharpen every threat. You can swear I'm gonna regret ever closing both my eyes. I'll probably ask if you're free tomorrow. So... If you came here looking for somebody afraid of you, sorry. Wrong guy. But you can stay if you want to. [Final Chorus] MEET ME WHEN I'M SLEEPING! I'LL BE WAITING THERE! LET EVERYBODY FIGHT TO WAKE UP! I'M RUNNING STRAIGHT TO YOU! MEET ME WHEN I'M SLEEPING! STAY UNTIL THE MORNING COMES! YOU CAN MAKE THE WHOLE WORLD FEAR YOU! BUT FREDDY... I'M FUCKING IN LOVE! [Dead Stop] [Final EDM Build] Don't wake me! Don't wake me! DON'T WAKE ME YET! Everybody calls it a nightmare... I CALL IT COMING HOME! [Final Massive EDM Drop] [Instrumental Outro] For somebody trying this hard to scare me... you're really bad at making me want to leave.
