Verse 1
Flip through my playlists
flip through some songs
wonder why I hate this, the world seems so wrong
finding the difference
expectations and realities
put on a sad song to match how I’m feeling

Pre-chorus
Sometimes I wish I could be
someone that I’m not, hard to be
imagine a world where everything
is perfect for you
but I guess it wouldn’t be perfect
for the one that’s next to you

Chorus
Why can’t I wake up in a fantasy
somebody I wanna be
why can’t I wake up somewhere far away
not care what other people say

Verse 2
Music, it soothes
music, it heals
speaks its own emotions
helps me not to feel mine
finding the difference
feeling sad and feeling lonely
play a sad playlist
ignore all my feelings

Pre-chorus
Sometimes I wish I could be
someone that I’m not, hard to be
imagine a world where everything
is perfect for you
but I guess it wouldn’t be perfect
for the one that’s next to you

Chorus
Why can’t I wake up in a fantasy
someone they never see in me
why can’t I wake up in another world
one where all my doubts aren’t real

Bridge
(ooh…
why can’t I…
I, I…
why…)
All my feelings getting too much for me, I
wanna get it out but keep it inside
don’t wanna get too comfortable ignoring it
but go and get some help feels too revealing, it makes me wanna hide out from the world forever
people keep on telling me it’s gon’ get better
…

Pre-chorus
Sometimes I wish I could be
someone that I’m not, hard to be
imagine a world where everything is
perfect for you
but I guess it wouldn’t be perfect
for the one that’s next to you
(no, oh, oh)

Chorus
Why can’t I wake up in a fantasy
…
why can’t I wake up in a fantasy
…
(let me just wake up)
Why can’t I wake up in a fantasy
feels safer than reality
why can’t I wake up far away from here
where I’ll have nothing to fear

why can’t I wake up in a fantasy
leave all my insecurities
why can’t I wake up as somebody new
no one tell me what to do
(ooh…
wake up somewhere far, far, far away…
wake up, wake up
maybe another day)
