Waking Life

Verse 1

I used to chase the midnight light

For the worlds I couldn’t find,

Where love was soft and certain

And the stars were always kind.

But then you stepped into my awakening

Like a sunrise breaking through—

And suddenly the life I’m living

Feels more magical than truth.

Pre‑Chorus

I never knew that being present

Could feel like flying without sleep—

But your soul calls mine to open

In a way that runs too deep.

Chorus

’Cause when I’m lying here beside you,

I don’t want to close my eyes—

Reality is brighter

Then the worlds I used to prize.

You’re the dream I never pictured,

You’re the truth that softly gleams—

Oh, my sweet baby, you’re the reason

Waking life is better than dreams.

Verse 2

I used to drift through moments

Like a ghost inside my skin,

But you touched me with your presence

And the world lit up again.

Every breath with you is a wonder,

Every glance a quiet spark—

You’re the fire that keeps me grounded

And the light that warms the dark.

Pre‑Chorus

And I don’t need the night to hold me,

Don’t need fantasies to glow—

Your soul is where the magic

And the ancient memories flow.

Chorus

’Cause when I’m lying here beside you,

I don’t want to close my eyes—

Reality is brighter

Then the worlds I used to prize.

You’re the dream I never pictured,

You’re the truth that softly gleams—

Oh, my sweet baby, you’re the reason

Waking life is better than dreams.

Bridge

Maybe love like this is timeless,

Maybe love like this is fate—

Two sparks split at creation

Finding each other through the gate.

And now the cosmos feels familiar,

Like it’s singing in the sea—

Saying, “Stay awake, beloved—

This is better than your dreams.”

Final Chorus

’Chorus

’Cause when I’m lying here beside you,

I don’t want to close my eyes—

Reality is brighter

Then the worlds I used to prize.

You’re the dream I never pictured,

You’re the truth that softly gleams—

Oh, my sweet baby, you’re the reason

Waking life is better than dreams.
