Lover's Anthem Lyrics

So many dreams I'd like to forget
Moment I wake I wanna sleep again
I want the kiss I'll never get
To be awake without awakening
Without awakening

So many things I'd like to forget
Make up our bed and try to sleep in it
I want the kiss without regret
Make up my mind and lie awake in it
I lie awake in it
I lie awake in it

Shaking fist, open hand
I am never gonna sleep again
I'm not awake at all
I've been awakening all along
All along

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 think this song is about the singer having a dream about his ex. In his dream, he sees her and everything is so beautiful and when he wakes up, he wishes he could dream about her forever. He lies awake in his bed yearning for her and it pains him to know that she's not with him anymore. He thinks about her and is nostalgic of the past. He realizes that he may never dream of her or see her again and he's been 'awakening' all along, which probably means he will move on gradually.
