The Weight of the World

When I start at the bottom then go back to the top
 Walk a mile's worth of hallway, turn around and stop
 There's a grave in the bedroom, there's a book up on a shelf
 There's a piece of my family that I can't help
 Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
 Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
 Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
 Don't wake me up, wake me up yeah
 Said goodbye to my mother, said goodbye to all my friends
 Said goodbye to my lover, how it always ends
 Say goodbye to my sister, if I lost the battle then
 No more weight on my shoulders, no more failing them
 Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
 Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
 Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
 Don't wake me up, wake me up yeah
 Did they know I would love her when they made her from my rib
 I don't know in my heart if I gave all that I could give
 Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
 Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
 Don't wake me up I'm dreaming
 Don't wake me up, wake me up yeah
