Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't believe this mess we're in
Tell me, where do I begin?
'Cause it's making my head spin
And I can just feel it
[Verse 2]
It's never been so loud and clear
I wish that I could disappear
To a place that's far from here
'Cause I can just feel it
[PreChorus]
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me we'll be alright
[Chorus]
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare's over
Yeah, make it stop, it won't last much longer
I wanna get away but I can't escape
Try to run but I'm going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare's over
[Verse 3]
When did this stop making sense?
When did dreams get left for dead?
How the hell did we forget
That nothing else matters?
[Verse 4]
If we hit the lowest low
There's only one place left to go
And I won't just give up hope
'Cause nothing else matters
[PreChorus]
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me we'll be alright
[Chorus]
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare's over
Yeah, make it stop, it won't last much longer
I wanna get away but I can't escape
Try to run but I'm going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare's over
[PreChorus]
Tell me we'll be alright
When this nightmare's over
Tell me we'll be alright
When this nightmare's over
Tell me we'll be alright
[Chorus]
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare's over
Yeah, make it stop, it won't last much longer
I wanna get away but I can't escape
Try to run but I'm going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare's over
[Outro]
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me we'll be alright
When this nightmare's over
[Outro]
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me we'll be alright
Tell me we'll be alright
Wake me up when this nightmare's over
