Bad Dreams Lyrics
Sun is going down, time is running out
No one else around but me
Steady losing light
Steady losing my mind
Moving shadows and grinding teeth
Without you, there ain’t no place for me to hide
Without you, there’s no way I can sleep tonight
What I’d do for a little bit of peace and quiet
Without you I keep
Slippin’ into bad dreams
Where there’s no you and I
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these
Bad dreams
Waiting on the other side
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these, all of these
(Ooh) Bad dreams
(Ooh) All of these, baby, please
Come around
Help me settle down
Hellish habits can cloud my head
What you waiting for
Something physical
I can’t do this by myself
Without you, there ain’t no place for me to hide
Without you, there’s no way I can sleep tonight
What I’d do for a little bit of peace and quiet
Without you I keep
Slippin’ into bad dreams
Where there’s no you and I
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these
Bad dreams
Waiting on the other side
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free
From all of these, all of these
(Ooh) Bad dreams (bad dreams), baby, please
(Ooh) All of these (baby, please), all of these
