I can’t believe this mess we’re in
Tell me, where do I begin?
‘Cause it’s making my head spin
And I can just feel it
It’s never been so loud and clear
I wish that I could disappear
To a place that’s far from here
‘Cause I can just feel it
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Yeah, make it stop, it won’t last much longer
I wanna get away but I can’t escape
Try to run but I'm going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
When did this stop making sense?
When did dreams get left for dead?
How the hell did we forget
That nothing else matters?
If we hit the lowest low
There’s only one place left to go
And I won’t just give up hope
‘Cause nothing else matters
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Yeah, make it stop, it won’t last much longer
I wanna get away but I can’t escape
Try to run but I'm going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Yeah, make it stop, it won’t last much longer
I wanna get away but I can’t escape
Try to run but I'm going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Wake me up when this nightmare’s over
