Wake Up Screaming Lyrics

Used to sleep through the night peacefullyNot a care in the world got to me
But now I lay me down to sleepI'm afraid of what I might see
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes byUsed to feel like a man in control
Unaware of the storm in my soulThe sight of you took away my breath
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes byNow in this dream I'm in a room
All dressed up just like a groomWatchin` shadows dance in the ledge
Suddenly you then appear you whisper in my hearAnd I jump right over the edge
Just a dream that I seem to recallCan't you tell me which doctor to call
Tell him please I'm not feelin too wellEverynight I'm hearin` wedding bells
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes byI lay there in an ice cold sweat
Sheets are torn and they're soakin` wet
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes by
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes by
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes by

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.
