Bad Dream Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sun is going down, time is running out No one else around but me Steady losing light, steady losing my mind Moving shadows and grinding teeth (Ooh) [Pre-Chorus] Without you, there ain't no place for me to hide Without you, there's no way I can sleep tonight What I'd do for a little bit of peace and quiet Without you, I keep [Chorus] Slipping into bad dreams (Bad dreams) Where there's no you and I No sound when I cry I love you and I need you to set me free From all of these Bad dreams (Bad dreams) Waitin' on the other side No sound when I cry I love you and I need you to set me free From all of these, all of these [Post-Chorus] Ooh, ooh, ooh Bad dreams Ooh, ooh, ooh All of these See Teddy Swims Live Get tickets as low as $60 You might also like Watch the Party Die Kendrick Lamar ALL RED Playboi Carti Darling, I Tyler, The Creator [Verse 2] Baby, please come around, help me settle down Hellish habits can cloud my head (Mm) What you waiting for?
