I Don’t Sleep, I Dream Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm looking for an interruption
Do you believe?
You looking to dig my dreams
Be prepared for anything
You come into my little scene
Hooray, hooray, hip-hip, hooray
There's one thing I can guarantee
You won't have to dig, dig too deep

[Chorus]
Said leave me to lay, but touch me deep
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need

[Verse 2]
Are you looking to drive my dreams?
You here to run my screens?
You come, deliver my demons
Hooray, hooray, hip-hip, hooray
Are you coming to ease my headache?
Do you give good head?
Am I good in bed?

[Chorus]
Said leave me to lay, but touch me deep
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need
[Verse 3]
I'm looking for an interruption
Can you believe?

Some medicine for my headache
Hooray, hooray, hip-hip, hooray
I'm pitching for a new direction

Pinch me when I wake
Don't tell me my dreams are fake


[Chorus]
Said leave me to lay, but touch me deep
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need
Said leave me to lay, but touch me deep
I don't sleep, I dream
I'll settle for a cup of coffee, but you know what I really need

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
