Middle Of A Dream by Rise Against Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I still chase your ghost
I still walk these streets and feel your hand inside my own
Why do we have to run away to feel at home?
We spend lifetimes waiting, so what's another day
When hope is the only way we tolerate the pain?
[Chorus]
And I woke up in the middle of a dream
Chasing someone or something
A hidden face I've never seen
Where were you when I woke up (Hey)
To a world without your voice
To sing me back to sleep? Don't let go
Are you letting go? (Ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-whoa)
[Verse 2]
I steady myself at the altar
And spell your name inside my mind
We're all someone else when the sun sets
Every time we close our eyes
But there's a world less complicated
Somehow, we buried it alive
It froze like a river in the dead of winter
Deep underneath the ice
[Chorus]
And I woke up in the middle of a dream
Chasing someone or something
A hidden face I've never seen
Where were you when I woke up (Hey)
To a world without your voice
To sing me back to sleep? Don't let go
Are you letting go? (Ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-whoa)
[Bridge]
Of two worlds that I am caught between
(I am caught between)
Which one is real? Which one is just pretend?
'Cause you're a door I cannot close
A static voice that comes and goes
A fatal crash and I can't look away, yeah
[Chorus]
And I woke up in the middle of a dream
Chasing someone or something
A hidden face I've never seen
Where were you when I woke up (Hey)
To a world without your voice
To sing me back to sleep? Don't let go
Are you letting go? (Ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-whoa)
[Outro]
Still I am wandering (Wake up)
In search of anything (Wake up)
That brings you back to me (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
That brings you back to me, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
I still chase your ghost
I still walk these streets and feel your hand inside my own
Why do we have to run away to feel at home?
We spend lifetimes waiting, so what's another day
When hope is the only way we tolerate the pain?
[Chorus]
And I woke up in the middle of a dream
Chasing someone or something
A hidden face I've never seen
Where were you when I woke up (Hey)
To a world without your voice
To sing me back to sleep? Don't let go
Are you letting go? (Ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-whoa)
[Verse 2]
I steady myself at the altar
And spell your name inside my mind
We're all someone else when the sun sets
Every time we close our eyes
But there's a world less complicated
Somehow, we buried it alive
It froze like a river in the dead of winter
Deep underneath the ice
[Chorus]
And I woke up in the middle of a dream
Chasing someone or something
A hidden face I've never seen
Where were you when I woke up (Hey)
To a world without your voice
To sing me back to sleep? Don't let go
Are you letting go? (Ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-whoa)
[Bridge]
Of two worlds that I am caught between
(I am caught between)
Which one is real? Which one is just pretend?
'Cause you're a door I cannot close

In search of anything (Wake up)
That brings you back to me (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
That brings you back to me, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
