Lyrics
[Intro]
Turn the lights on
[Verse 1]
Every night, I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you when I close my eyes
I'm going out of my head
Lost in the fairytale
Can you hold my hand and be my guide?
[PreChorus]
Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
And I hope it rains
You're the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?
[Chorus]
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don't wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)
It's a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true (Turn the lights on)
[Chorus]
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, long as you're here, I'll be floatin' on air, 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don't wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)
[Verse 2]
I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all in my thoughts
Boy, you my temporary high
I wish that when I wake up, you're there
To wrap your arms around me for real and tell me you'll stay by my side
[PreChorus]
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies (Cover the skies)
And I hope it rains
You're the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?
[Chorus]
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don't wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)
It's a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true (Turn the lights on)
[Chorus]
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, long as you're here, I'll be floatin' on air, 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don't wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)
[Bridge]
Tattoo your name across my heart
So it will remain
Not even death could make us part
What kind of dream is this?
[Chorus]
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don't wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)
It's a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true (Turn the lights on)
[Chorus]
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, long as you're here, I'll be floatin' on air, 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don't wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)
[Outro]
Either way. I don't wanna wake up from you
