[Intro]
[Verse 1: Jayden Panesso]
Wake up, wake up
Today is another day that feels like yesterday
And I'm starting to wonder when
These days will change, I want to smile again
These thoughts will fade, I want to run away
[Pre-Chorus: Jayden Panesso, Miguel Cardona]
I'm feeling the pressure
And it gets hard to breathe
When they all count on me
No pain means no pleasure
It's only pushing me to take this far
[Chorus: Miguel Cardona]
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
If you do it's not enough
Still I don't trust the feeling
If I'm too high don't let me come down
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
If you do it's not enough
Still I don't trust the feeling
Going too far even if I get lost
[Verse 2: Jayden Panesso]
My days feel like a movie with no happy endings
To all those spectating, just skip to the credits
I'm ready, this is the reason I'm crawling
This is the reason I'm falling
This is the reason why I can't take it, I'm running
I tried to get away from here
What will it take to leave that place?
I think I know what's going on here
I'm just a prisoner of my own head
[Pre-Chorus: Jayden Panesso, Miguel Cardona]
I'm feeling the pressure
And it gets hard to breathe
When they all count on me
No pain means no pleasure
It's only pushing me to take this far
[Chorus: Miguel Cardona]
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
If you do it's not enough
Still I don't trust the feeling
If I'm too high don't let me come down
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
If you do it's not enough
Still I don't trust the feeling
Going too far even if I get lost
[Bridge: Miguel Cardona, Jayden Panesso]
I feel it in my bones, nothing's really changed
The effort, the passion, the overreacting
Can't you see that I'm hanging on?
Can't you see that I'm hanging on?
I feel it in my bones, nothing's really changed
The effort, the passion, the overreacting
Can't you see that I'm hanging on?
Can't you see that I'm hanging on?
And I'll keep hanging on
'Cause I could feel it in my bones, nothing's really changed
The effort, the passion, the notion, that'll never fade
Either way, even if it's a loss or a gain
Can't you see that I'm hanging on?
I'm just doing what I gotta do, man
Yeah, stop me
[Chorus: Miguel Cardona]
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
If you do it's not enough
Still I don't trust the feeling
If I'm too high don't let me come down
Don't wake me if I'm dreaming
If you do it's not enough
Still I don't trust the feeling
Going too far even if I get lost
Going too far even if I get lost
Going too far even if I get lost
