Lyrics

Awake In The Dream

(before we lose the light)

I see my life again
From outside my body
Baby buzz me in
Cause I’m asleep in the lobby
I don’t mean to fuss
I don’t want to get sloppy
But I’m stuck in the cut
I’m just little stuck

All my friends are changing around me
Maybe I was lost but maybe I’m bound to be
All my friends are changing in front of me
Baby count the cost but maybe don’t run form me

Life is all what happens in the in-between
Oh, I just want to be awake in the dream
I don’t need the end to justify the means
Oh, I just want to be
Oh, I just want to be
Awake in the dream
Awake in the dream
(before we lose the light)
(before we lose the light)

I’ve been taking losses
I’ve been pressing the boundaries
Fighting off these feelings
That are pressing to drown me
I get what I want
But I don’t get what I need

All my friends are changing around me
Maybe I was lost but maybe I’m bound to be
All my friends are changing in front of me
Baby count the cost but maybe don’t run form me

Life is all what happens in the in-between
Oh, I just want to be awake in the dream
I don’t need the end to justify the means
Oh, I just want to be
Oh, I just want to be
Awake in the dream
Awake in the dream
(before we lose the light)

Maybe there’s time to get it right
Baby start the car before we lose the light
No one ever tells you what it’s like
Baby start the car before we lose the light

Maybe there’s time to get it right
Baby start the car before we lose the light
No one ever tells you what it’s like
Baby start the car before we lose the light

Maybe there’s time to get it right
Baby start the car before we lose the light
No one ever tells you what it's like
Baby start the car before we lose the light

(before we lose the light)

Awake in the dream
Awake in the dream
(before we lose the light)
Awake in the dream
Awake in the dream
(before we lose the light)
(before we lose the light)

John Mark McMillan is something of an anomaly: an artist and Platinum-selling songwriter bending genres and defying categorization by carving out his own unique and independent path. With an ear for melody and a poet’s eye for metaphor, no topic has been off-limits. While each of his albums over the past decade have continued to explore new territory, it’s McMillan’s ability to give lyric and language to the human experience that many consider his greatest gift.
