Running in My Sleep Lyrics

I want the sky to burn romantic
And make us feel like a part of it
Like it was all for something
Because I don’t sleep through the night anymore
I don’t look in the mirror anymore
I don’t laugh out loud anymore

The city is gray. Outside the traffic sighs and sways
A fight breaks out, but I’m a million miles away
I don’t sleep through the night anymore
I don’t look in the mirror anymore
I don’t laugh out loud anymore because I’m

Chorus:
Running in my sleep
All the streetlights shatter in my dreams
Running in my sleep
Will you catch up to me?

I live with ghosts. The shadows of the ones I love
So real and close, they whisper just beyond my touch
I don’t sleep through the night anymore
I don’t look in the mirror anymore
I don’t laugh out loud anymore and I’m

Chorus

Oh, I run till my breath comes short
Oh, I want to know what I’m worth in the end
I try to focus on the music
The sad and pretty music
Try to focus on the music, but I’m

Chorus

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.
