[Travis McCoy]:
In this life
Cause I don't want to lose this feeling
(Don't wake me)
I slip an REM and then I pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming, or make believing
I seen so many girls but never built the nerve to say a word,
Or even form a sentence
[Chorus]:
(Oh) In this life,
When you're not dreaming, I know I'm not sleeping
Please don't wake me up cause I don't want to lose this feeling,
Leave me alone, don't even call my phone,
And please don't, don't wake me
I know I've seen this place before but I still pinch my nose to make sure I'm still breathing,
For no particular reason,
And I seen so many wrongs and wrote so many songs my right hand ran away just yesterday,
[Chorus]:
(Yeah) In this life,
When you're not dreaming, I know I'm not sleeping
Please don't wake me up cause I don't want to lose this feeling,
Leave me alone, don't even call my phone,
And please don't, don't wake me
[T-Pain]:
Ay, Aw, Yeah
I stare at walls and watch my life drive when it's done I move on to the ceiling,
I'm just make believing,
Cause I went blind two days ago and I don't know how I'm looking at what I'm seeing,
Oh I can't believe it,
[Together]:
(Oh) In this life
[Chorus]:
When you're not dreaming, I know I'm not sleeping
Please don't wake me up cause I don't want to lose this feeling,
Leave me alone, don't even call my phone,
And please don't, don't wake me
Don't wake me
Don't wake me
