Don't Wake Me Up
Heartstop Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The party is almost done
We've had our share of drinks and fun and the sun is coming up
Kiss me one last time
So i can feel like im alive before i wake up in my room

If only I could touch your face
To fill this heart to fill this space

Ill be your hero and we'll take our time
Ill be your hero and we'll make it right

I know that everything would be okay if i could touch your face and know that im awake
So lets go grab your keys and leave this place, because all that matters now is our time tonight

Ill be your hero and we'll take our time
Ill be your hero and we'll make it right

And I'd do anything for you
Dont wake me up
And I'd do anything for you
Dont wake me up

Ill be your hero and we'll take our time
Ill be your hero and we'll make it right
