I can usually drink you right off of my mind
But I miss you tonight.
I can normally push you right out of my heart
But I'm too tired to fight.
Yeah, the whole thing begins
And I let you sink into my veins,
And I feel the pain like it's new.
Everything that we were,
Everything that you said,
Everything that I did and that I couldn't do
Plays through tonight.
Tonight your memory burns like a fire,
With every word it grows higher and higher,
I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love,
I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back,
Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming.
Come wake me up.
Turn the TV up loud just to drown out your voice
But I can't forget.
Now I'm all out of ideas
And, baby, I'm down to my last cigarette.
Yeah, you're probably asleep deep inside of your dreams
While I'm sitting here crying and trying to sleep.
Yeah, wherever you are, baby, now I am sure you've moved on
And aren't thinking twice about me and you tonight.
Tonight your memory burns like a fire,
With every word it grows higher and higher,
I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love,
I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back,
Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming.
I know that you're movin' on,
I know I should give you up
But I keep hopin' that you'll trip and fall back in love.
Time's not healin' anything,
Baby, this pain is worse than it ever was.
I know that you can't hear me but,
Baby, I need you to save me tonight.
Tonight your memory burns like a fire,
With every word it grows higher and higher,
I can't get over it, I just can't put out this love,
I just sit in these flames and pray that you'll come back,
Close my eyes tightly, hold on and hope that I'm dreaming.
Come wake me up.
Oh, I'm dreaming,
Come wake me up.
Oh, I'm dreaming…
