Rick Springfield

If it's all a magnificent mistake
There goes the universe and its order
I was dreaming wide awake
When something pulled me under the water (Breathe)
I can't surface I.. (Breathe)
It's in my fear (Breathe)
And I can't stop it (Breathe)
I can't , I can't breathe (Breathe)
I'm choking (Breathe)
And I don't want to sleep

[Chorus:]
Everynight I wake up screaming
We're the last tribe as the world stops turning
Everynight I wake up screaming
My car crash isn't far from here
And everything looks better with my eyes closed
Everything looks better with my eyes closed

There's a terrorist somewhere
With my name on a bullet he's loading
There's a meteor out there
With the world in its sights and it's closing (Breathe)
I can't surface I.. (Breathe)
It's in my fear (Breathe)
And I can't stop it (Breathe)
I can't , I can't breathe (Breathe)
I'm choking (Breathe)
And I don't want to sleep

[Chorus:]
Everynight I wake up screaming
We're the last you and me as the world stops turning
Everynight I wake up screaming
The end of everything's very near
Everything looks better with my eyes closed
Everything looks better with my eyes closed

[Chorus:]
Everynight I wake up screaming
I'm the last man as the world stops turning
Everynight I wake up screaming
Dreaming that I'm blind again
And everything looks better with my eyes closed
Everything looks better with my eyes closed...
