Myles Kennedy has said about the lyrical content of the song: “Written quickly one night after having a few drinks, it was an attempt to sum up what so many of us felt during the beginning of the pandemic. We were bored, frustrated and self medicating to avoid going stir crazy. What I like about the...
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes to the world outside
It's a shitstorm so they say
It's just you and I on an endless holiday
We're past the time, pour a drink, get high
In a feudal state of play
Try to numb the truth, there may be nothing left to say
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, it that's the way it is
Then pass me one last hit
Cause the voices in my head make me insane
[Chorus]
You can wake me when it's over
When the nightmare finally ends
You can wake me whеn it's over
So that I can dream again
[Verse 2]
Rations now as the rain comеs down
On this pallid paradise
There's no relief when there is no end in sight
Wanna slip away from the dead and grey
Can you ease my worried mind?
If you're in the mood, well you know I've got the time
Yeah I do
[Pre Chorus 2]
If you please, I must insist
Please concede with just one kiss
Got the doldrums once again, I cannot lie
[Chorus]
You can wake me when it's over
When the nightmare finally ends
You can wake me when it's over
So that I can dream again
[Bridge]
If we could get back to the order
The way it was once again
Please don't tell me that it's over
I'm scared as hell, I can't pretend
[Verse 3]
What comes next, well I must confess
I haven't got a clue
For all I know the end is coming soon
Wanna lay you down in a pretty gown
We got nothing left to lose
As it all burns down at least I'll die with you
[Chorus]
So baby, take me now it's over
I'm afraid we've reached the end
But it might save me when it's over
To know I died with my best friend
