[Intro]
Stop the world, I want to get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Give me the future
Give me confidence
Give me...

[Verse 1]
Cyber love
In an anxious age
Lord above
Need to get me laid
Had a taste
Of euphoria
Who could blame
Me for wanting more?

[Pre-Chorus]
Just give me passion, give me violence
Give me confidence
Give me something new to feel, uh
Now us freaks and geeks can rule thе world, have everything
Doеsn't matter if it's real

[Chorus]
In my head, in my head
I escape with you
When my dreams run away
Run away with you
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?

[Verse 2]
Share our souls
On the internet
Total recall
All the dumb regrets
Breaking hearts in a brand new way
Same, old humans
Making new mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]
Just give me passion, give me violence
Give me confidence
Give me something new to feel, uh
And now us freaks and geeks can rule the world, have everything
Doesn't matter if it's real

[Chorus]
In my head, in my head
I escape with you
When my dreams run away
Run away with you
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake, stay awake?

[Bridge]
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Stop the world, I wanna get off
Lucid dreams, I can't get enough
Can't get enough

[Chorus]
In my head, in my head
I escape with you
Let my dreams run away
Run away with you
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake?
Why would I stay awake, stay awake, stay awake?

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
