I wish that I could be a movie star
Little different from playing guitar
It might be hard at first but I could be
The guy behind you don't get to see

If I could show you the world through a story
I would on a scene, everybody would glow
And I'd write the song
Jot it down on my palm
Not a big show, but I bet you would go

Don't wake me up
Cause I'm dreaming away of a good life
And I don't want to get out of this spotlight
The crowd is fired in

Come on don't you wake me up
I've been dreaming about this for too long
And I don't want to be away for too long
Not for too long

You took me far away from make believe
No matter what I say you doubt me (doubt me)
I don't even have no pictures
Why did you take away my pictures
You need to see it to believe me

If I could paint you the world, there's a story to tell
I've seen it before, I know
And I wrote the song
Jot it down on my palm
Not a big show, but I bet you would go

Don't wake me up
Cause I'm dreaming away of a good life
And I don't want to get out of this spotlight
The crowd is fired in

Come on don't you wake me up
I've been dreaming about this for too long
And I don't want to be away for too long
Not for too long

Tonight. Tonight
The show must go on
Tonight. Tonight
This is where I am
You were close to rip my heart out (x4)

Don't wake me up
Cause I'm dreaming away of a good life
And I don't want to get out of this spotlight
The crowd is fired in

Come on don't you wake me up
I've been dreaming about this for too long
And I don't want to be away for too long
Not for too long
