[Verse 1: Marie Fredriksson]
Halfway through the night
I wake up in a dream
Echoes in my head make every whisper turn into a scream

[Chorus]
I dreamed I could fly out in the blue
Over this town followin' you
Over the trees, subways and cars
I'd try to find out who you really are

[Verse 2: Marie Fredriksson]
In the middle of the night (middle of the night)
Cool sweatin' in my bed
Got the windows open wide, thinkin'
About all the things you said

[Chorus]
I wish I could fly out in the blue
Over this town followin' you
I'd fly over rooftops, the great boulevards to try to find out
Who you really are

[Bridge]
Who you really are
I wish I could fly now
I wish I could fly now
I wish I could fly now

[Chorus]
I wish I could fly around and around
Over this town, the dirt on the ground
I'd follow your course of doors left ajar to try to find out
Who you really are
Who you really are

[Outro]
Fly, fly, fly
I wish I could fly
I wake up in a dream in the middle of the night
I wish I could fly
I wish I could fly

Roxette is a Swedish pop rock duo, consisting of Marie Fredriksson (vocals and keyboards) and Per Gessle (vocals and guitar).

Formed in 1986, the duo became an international act in the late 1980s, when they released their breakthrough album Look Sharp! Their third album Joyride released in 1991 became just as successful as its predecessor.

Roxette went on to achieve nineteen UK Top 40 hits and several US Hot 100 hits, including four US number-ones with “The Look,” “Listen to Your Heart,” “It Must Have Been Love,” and “Joyride.” Other hits include “Dangerous,” “Fading Like a Flower,” “Spending My Time,” “How Do You Do!” and “Sleeping in My Car.”.
