Some nights I take off away To the place I wish I can stay Dreaming about the best for her sake Haunted by the light of the day But then I realized I was still awake And I began Chasing Nightmares All day long I've been Chasing Nightmares From dust to dawn I know this may sound stupid but I'm not a freak I wish for the best but I've been Chasing Nightmares I was lost but then she came to me To the same place I dreamt we could be Together or apart from today Depending what we thought was at stake But then I realized I was still awake And I began Chasing Nightmares All day long I've been Chasing Nightmares From dust to dawn I know this may sound stupid but I'm not a freak I wish for the best but I've been Chasing Nightmares
