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
