Don't Wake Me Up Lyrics

(dream on, dream on, dream on)
live your life as you please
(so long, so long, so long)
to all the critics and the enemies
my sky has turned vanilla
like sugar sasparella
and if only, you were nearer
i'd say

don't wake me up
baby, i'm in love
and i'm dreaming so much, but i don't ever wanna stop
don't wake me up
don't wake me up
i don't wanna stop
don't wake me up

(give up, give up, give up)
time to wipe your soul clean
(someone to love, to love, to love)
hair like fire, sunset tangerine
the nights are getting colder
not getting any older
the chip fell off my shoulder
i won't age a day, you'll all be grey and over-rated
baby

don't wake me up
baby, i'm in love
and i'm dreaming so much, but i don't ever wanna stop
don't wake me up
don't wake me up
i don't wanna stop
don't wake me up

oh yeah

don't wake me up
baby, i'm in love

(come on) don't wake me up
baby, i'm in love
and i'm dreaming so much, but i don't ever wanna stop
(oh) don't wake me up
don't wake me up
i don't wanna stop
don't wake me up
don't wake me up
don't wake me up
don't wake me up

Room On The Third Floor

Saturday Night

don't wake me up
baby, i'm in love
and i'm dreaming so much, but i don't ever wanna stop
don't wake me up
don't wake me up
i don't wanna stop
don't wake me up

(give up, give up, give up)
time to wipe your soul clean 
(someone to love, to love, to love)
hair like fire, sunset tangerine
the nights are getting colder
not getting any older
the chip fell off my shoulder
i won't age a day, you'll all be grey and over-rated
baby

don't wake me up
baby, i'm in love
and i'm dreaming so much, but i don't ever wanna stop
don't wake me up
don't wake me up
i don't wanna stop
don't wake me up

oh yeah

don't wake me up
baby, i'm in love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song too :) When I first heard it I thought, "Oh its just a meaningless song" but I was so wrong, it really isnt! Its about how you feel when you fall in love and how you really don't care about anything else or what anyone says about you cos you're in a dream world and its like "yeah whatever...i'm in love :)" I related so well to this song a while ago and I just had it on repeat constantly as I was daydreaming away haha...
