*Don't Wake Me*

*Verse 1:*

Saw you on campus, late to class again,

Books in your hand, caught in the same spin.

We lock eyes for a second, then you look away,

And in that moment, everything fades to gray.

You’re out of my league, it’s easy to see,

But something about you just won’t let me be.

I wonder if you know the effect you’ve got,

Making me dream more than I probably ought.

*Chorus:*

If I die, don’t wake me, this is where I wanna be,

In the hallways, in my mind, where it’s just you and me.

Out of my league, but I’m living the dream,

Every time you pass by, it’s like I’m floating upstream.

*Verse 2:*

Canteen's packed, but all I see is you,

Laughing with your friends, like you always do.

I grab a table near, trying to look cool,

But inside I’m feeling like such a fool.

You’re talking ‘bout classes, plans for the night,

I’m imagining us in that same spotlight.

But I’m just a face in the crowd to you,

A nobody dreaming of what we could do.

*Chorus:*

If I die, don’t wake me, this is where I wanna be,

In the hallways, in my mind, where it’s just you and me.

Out of my league, but I’m living the dream,

Every time you pass by, it’s like I’m floating upstream.

*Verse 3:*

Finals are looming, stress is running high,

But all I think about is catching your eye.

You smile my way, I almost forget to breathe,

That moment right there, I don’t wanna leave.

If I die, don’t wake me, I’m happy in this dream,

Where a glance from you makes reality seem,

Like maybe, just maybe, there’s a chance for us,

In this college world, it’s love or bust.

*Bridge:*

If you knew the truth, what would you say?

Would you turn around, or just walk away?

I’ve built this world where it’s only you and me,

But the fear of waking up won’t let me be.

*Chorus:*

If I die, don’t wake me, this is where I wanna be,

In the hallways, in my mind, where it’s just you and me.

Out of my league, but I’m living the dream,

Every time you pass by, it’s like I’m floating upstream.

*Outro:*

Another day ends, but I'm stuck in rewind,

Can’t shake these feelings you left behind.

Out of my league, but I’m holding on tight,

In this endless loop where you feel just right.
