Bad Dreams lyrics

Sun is going down, time is running out
No one else around but me
Steady losing light, steady losing my mind
Over shadows and gravity (ooh)
Without you, there ain't no place for me to hide
Without you, there's no way I can sleep tonight
What I do, for a little bit of peace and quiet
Without you, I keep slipping into bad dreams
But 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)
Waiting 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
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Bad dreams
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
All of these
Baby, please come around, help me settle down
Hellish habits cloud my head
What you waiting for?
Something physical
I can't do this by myself
Without you, there ain't no place for me to hide
Without you, there ain't no way I can sleep tonight
What I do, for a little bit of peace and quiet
Without you, I keep slipping into bad dreams
But there's no you and I
No sound when I cry
I love you and I need you to set me free (to set me free)
From all of these (all of these)
All of these bad dreams
Waiting 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
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Bad dreams
Baby, please
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
All of these, all of these
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
