Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It isn't enough to start a riot
Distort the light beam until I like me
It isn't enough
If this is real life I'll stick to dreaming
Come see what I see
[PreChorus]
Feeling like if this is life
I'm choosing fiction (Ooh-oh-ooh ooh-oh-ooh)
Call it faith, call it fame
The fantasy's the same
Uh
[Chorus]
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don't wake me, don't wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don't wake me, don't wake me up
[Verse 2]
Levelling up, delete my history
Choose how you see me
And the future's easier
Levelling up, in here I'm winning
Defeat the big boss
Game over, your loss
[PreChorus]
Feeling like this ain't life
I'm choosing fiction (Ooh-oh-ooh ooh-oh-ooh)
Call it faith, call it fame
The fantasy's the same
[Chorus]
So when I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don't wake me, don't wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don't wake me, don't wake me up
[Verse 3]
(Will I ever, will I ever, will I ever wake up?) Hope I never wake up
I never get tired
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
[Bridge]
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
Don't wake me, don't wake me up
[Chorus]
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don't wake me, don't wake me up
When I'm dreaming tonight I can do anything
When I'm dreaming tonight I can go anywhere
When I'm dreaming tonight I can be anyone
So don't wake me, don't wake me up
[Outro]
Ooh, and when I'm dreaming I can do anything
So here I go
