Dont Wake Me Up
BROWN Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dearly beloved
If this love only exists in my dreams
Don't wake me up

Too much light in this window
Don't wake me up
Only coffee, no sugar inside my cup
If I wake and you're here still, give me a kiss
I wasn't finished dreamin' about your lips

Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up, yeah
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me

So much life in the city, you won't believe
Been awake for some days now, no time to sleep
If your heart is a pillow, this love's the bed
Tell me what is the music inside my head

Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up, yeah
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me

I don't wanna fall, fall, fall, fall asleep, no
I don't wanna fall unless I'm falling for you
I don't wanna fall, fall, fall, fall asleep, no
I don't wanna fall unless I'm falling for you

Don't wake me up, up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up, yeah
Don't wake me up, up, up, up, up, up




Don't wake me up
Don't wake me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chris Brown's song "Don't Wake Me Up" convey a longing for a love that exists only in dreams. The singer pleads not to be awakened from this dreamlike state, where he can imagine being with the person he loves. He describes the light in his window as too bright, indicating he may be having trouble sleeping. He mentions he's only had coffee with no sugar indicating he's restless and unable to relax. He dreams about being with his lover, and wants to continue dreaming about their lips, but he knows that he will have to wake up eventually.


The second verse talks about the "life in the city" and how he has been awake for days but hasn't been able to sleep. The lyrics compare his lover's heart to a pillow and their love to a bed, implying that he finds peace and comfort in their love. He wonders about the music playing in his head, which may symbolize the feelings he has for his lover that he can't put into words. The final lines reiterate the chorus and emphasize the singer's desire to remain in this dream world with his lover.


Overall, the song emphasizes the bittersweet nature of love that can only exist in dreams. The lyrics convey the hopelessness of wanting someone you can't have and the longing to stay in a dream where that love is possible.

Dearly beloved
Address to the beloved (partner) with deep affection


If this love only exists in my dreams
Asking not to break the dreamy love even if it's not real


Don't wake me up
Request to not end the pleasurable state of mind


Too much light in this window,
The sun is too bright today


Don't wake me up,
Reinforces the request not to break the state of mind


Only coffee no sugar inside my cup,
Simple pleasure without any fuss


If I wake and you're here still, gimme a kiss,
Expressing the feeling of missing the partner


I wasn't finished dreamin' about your lips
It's time to go back to the dream state


So much life in the city you won't believe,
Amazed by the liveliness and vibrance of the city life


Been awake for some days now, no time to sleep,
Too busy enjoying life, didn't bother to sleep


If your heart is a pillow, this love's the bed,
A metaphor to describe how comforting and enjoyable the love is


Tell me what is the music inside my head
Wondering what is causing the happy and pleasant feeling


I don't wanna fall, fall, fall, fall asleep no,
Reluctance to let go of the pleasurable state of mind


I don't wanna fall unless I'm falling for you
Not willing to give heart to anyone else except the current partner


Don't wake me up
Reinforces the request to not break the state of mind
