Sweet Dream - Alessia Cara

4:55, everybody else is snoring

My heavy eyes, I can never seem to close 'em

My running mind, just can’t catch it when it’s going

Is it late at night or is it early in the morning?

Only

So many sheep a girl can count

Patchouli candles burning out

I try to meditate it all away

But damn it, it’s too quiet now

Daylight helps distract my head

Monsters hide under my bed

They bother me with all kinds of things

Like where do I go when I’m dead?

Is it too much to ask for a sweet dream?

Need a step back from my feelings

Life is not so bad when I’m sleeping

Is it too much to ask, too much to ask for a

Sweet dream?

For a sweet dream

6:58, sun’s peeking through the curtains

I drift away, suddenly the wheels are turning

Songs are in my head, scary thoughts begin to worsen

Once I’m wide awake, it’s too hard to reverse it

Chirping

Birds are flying round my house

Patchouli candles burning out

I try to meditate it all away

But damn it, it’s too quiet now

Daylight helps distract my head

Monsters hide under my bed

They bother me with all kinds of things

Like that one stupid thing I said

Is it too much to ask for a sweet dream?

Need a step back from my feelings

Life is not so bad when I’m sleeping

Is it too much to ask, too much to ask for a

Sweet dream?

For a sweet dream

Sweet dream

For a sweet dream

Sandman, can you visit me?

All I want is a sweet dream

8:31, I’m slurring every word now

I pray this cold coffee helps me with the rebound

How does everybody I know know how to sleep sound?

When we’re all a mess, I guess the only way out

Is a sweet dream (Sweet dream, sweet dream)

Is a sweet dream

Sweet dream

Is a sweet dream
