Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn the lights on

Every night i rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe i'll get a chance to see you
When i close my eyes i'm going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale can you hold my hands and be my guide

Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And i hope it rains you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda of dream is this

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way i dont want to wake up from you
(turn the lights on)

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me your love's to good to be true
(turn the lights on)

My guilty pleasure i ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here i'll be floating on air
Cause your my

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way i dont want to wake up from you
(turn the lights on)

I mention you when i say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy you're my temporary high

I wish that when i wake up you're there
To wrap you're arms around me for real
And tell me you'll stay by my side

Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And i hope it rains you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda of dream is this

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way i dont want to wake up from you

(turn the lights on)

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me your love's to good to be true
(turn the lights on)

My guilty pleasure i ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here i'll be floating on air
Cause your my

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way i dont want to wake up from you
(turn the lights on)

Tattoo you're name across my heart so it will remain
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way i dont want to wake up from you
(turn the lights on)

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me your love's to good to be true
(turn the lights on)

My guilty pleasure i ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here i'll be floating on air
Cause your my

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way i dont want to wake up from you
(turn the lights on)

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way i dont want to wake up from you




(turn the lights on)
Either way i dont want to wake up from you
