Lyrics
Verse 1:
Nothing here is alright, dear
How am I to tell you
When I am searching through me all night, here
For something I can sell to you
And I see you in my room
And you don't know I'm looking at you
Some how every time
I hear your name and I'm falling on my face
Chorus:
Am I awake
Am I dreaming, I cannot open up my eyes
Am I wrong for believing
That you can make me alright
even when I know you tell me
Verse 2:
You're tired of coming over here
That is how I hear you
Well I'm sorry but I love it
It's anything to be with you
And I feel you in this room
You don't even know that girl
I am so in love with you
That anytime I hear your voice
I could die but I don't care
Chorus:
Am I awake
Am I dreaming I cannot open up my eyes
Am I wrong for believing
That you can make me all right
even when I know this feeling could
Bridge:
Knock me out, it's all in my head again
Knock me out, it's all in my head baby
Knock me out, I'm going out of my head
Verse 3:
It's seems you can really turn my head
I hear your voice and I fall again
I'm feeling in love and this time ain't
enough
I hear that you're gone
and it's more than I can take
Chorus out
