When I Fall Asleep

from You Live in a Dream by Payette

/

lyrics

When I fall asleep
You're there in my dreams
Saying something sweet
Laying next to me
Feel the summer breeze
And your body heat
I wish my track record wasn't this bad
Or I'd maybe shoot my shot
Maybe not
Maybe I'd be okay just with the thoughts
Of you I've got in my head, now

But I won't have it that way
Not with the route I'm on
Can't even say the words
Unless they're in a song
I won't have it that way
Not with the rate I'm going
Can't even say the words
I always end up choking

In my dreams
I always end up choking
In my dreams, In my dreams
When I fall asleep you're in my dreams

When I fall asleep
You're there in my dreams
Tryna keep the peace
When I fall asleep
I need one more week
And some space to think
A little room to breathe
Could I get that please?

Would it really kill me to say hello?
Of course not, but I froze anyway
Cause my brain is on a different page
Than my body
Should it really be this hard to speak?
Of course not, but I'm weak
And afraid of what I'll say
Cause I say dumb things as a hobby

When I fall asleep
You're there in my dreams
Tryna keep the peace
When I fall asleep
I need one more week
And some space to think
A little room to breathe
Could I get that please?

Would it really kill me to try and approach you?
Of course not, but I know
Either way I'll make a mistake
And I'll try to fake my death to save face
Should it really be this hard for me?
Of course not, but I think
That I may just dig my own grave today
'Cause I'd do it anyways

When I fall asleep
You're there in my dreams
Tryna keep the peace
When I fall asleep
I need one more week
And some space to think
A little room to breathe
Could I get that please?

When I fall asleep
You're there in my dreams
Tryna keep the peace
When I fall asleep
I need one more week
And some space to think
A little room to breathe
Could I get that please?
