[Verse 1]
As I lay down on the bed

[Chorus]
If I could then I would scream
I'd wipe the tears off of my face
Wake me up if it's a dream
This is more than I can take
I'd give everything I own
If someone else could take my place
Will someone else please take my place?

If I could then I would scream
I'd wipe the tears off of my face
Wake me up if it's a dream
This is more than I can take
I'd give everything I own
If someone else could take my place
Will someone else please take my place?
