Running In a Dream

John Michael Howell

[Verse 1]
Tonight I'll fall asleep, but I won't be countin' sheep
I'll be counting all the times I let you slip away from me
I wish that I could be the one who sweeps you off your feet
But every time that I try, I can never move a thing

[Chorus]
'Cause when I look into your eyes, I swear time starts to freeze
Everything slows down and I find it hard to breathe
No matter what I do, I can't get you close to me
The harder that I try, the further out you seem to be
Oh, I wish that I could hold you, but I just can't move my feet
I guess that's what it's like tryna chase a fantasy
They say love's a thing you fall in
But for me, it's more like runnin' in a dream

[Post-Chorus]
Runnin' in a dream

[Verse 2]
When you fall asleep, I hope that I cross your mind
I know that it's a stretch, but you will always be in mine
Oh, I wish that I could be the one who sweeps you off your feet
When you walk into the room, I can hardly think, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
When I look into your eyes, I swear time starts to freeze
Everything slows down and I find it hard to breathe
No matter what I do, I can't get you close to me
The harder that I try, the further out you seem to be
Oh, I wish that I could hold you, but I just can't move my feet
I guess that's what it's like tryna chase a fantasy
They say love's a thing you fall in
But for me, it's more like runnin' in a dream

[Bridge]
I can't get you out of my head
I try to forget, but it only makes it worse instead
I don't how I'll get over it
But I'll go to bed again

[Chorus]
When I look into your eyes, I swear time starts to freeze
Everything slows down and I find it hard to breathe
No matter what I do, I can't get you close to me
The harder that I try, the further out you seem to be
Oh, I wish that I could hold you, but I just can't move my feet
I guess that's what it's like tryna chase a fantasy
They say love's a thing you fall in
But for me, it's more like runnin' in a dream

[Outro]
They say love's a thing you fall in
But for me, it's more like runnin' in a dream
