Don't Wake Me Up
big rich Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never knew it could feel like this
Blown away will?
You're everything that I miss
I'd love to kiss you when the
Sunrise breaks. But if your heart
Won't let you stay
Let me sleep, tangled in the sheets
Dreaming you're right there next to me
Don't wanna hear any footsteps on that floor. Don't even close my door
Don't wake me, don't wake me
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Started slow, now we're moving fast, lipstick stain on an empty glass
You whisper close, in my ear
Oh, I'd love to stay right here
I don't wanna go when we lay down, will you be here when the sun come back around?
Don't wake me up, before you go. If you gotta leave, I don't wanna know
Let me sleep, tangled in the sheets
Dreaming you're right there next to me
Don't wanna hear any footsteps on that floor. Don't even close my door
Don't wake me, don't wake me
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Yeahh, yeahh, yeahh
Don't wake me up, before you go
If you gotta leave, I don't wanna know.
Let me sleep, tangled in the sheets
Dreaming you're right there next to me
Don't wanna hear any footsteps on that floor. Don't even close my door
Don't wake me, don't wake me
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me up

That guitar rift and the rest of the background music is from Taylor Swift's Should've Said No, though I prefer this version it's slower and more beautiful.
