I don't wanna wake up; things are going so good I'm afraid it's all a dream
I don't wanna blink in the morning light and see it all drift away like steam
And if the dawn should see you gone, it would shake me to my core
And my faith would be destroyed and it would unlock all the doors
to doubt once more
I've been riding high on elation, a calm sea of emotion as smooth as glass
It's like I've had a revelation; I never dreamed it could change so fast
And if the dawn should find me here, alone and shaking in my bed
It would break me on a stone and I would never look ahead
with hope or courage
I'm trying to be optimistic; it's easy in the afterglow
I've always been realistic; the good times never seem to last for long
And if it all comes crashing down, at least we hit the heights
And had the chance to look around and take in all the sights
And sounds and fury
