Sweet Dream Lyrics – Alessia Cara

[Verse 1: Alessia Cara]
4:55, everybody else is snoring
My heavy eyes, I can never seem to close 'em
My running mind,  just can't catch it when it's going
Is it late at night or is it early in the morning?

[Pre-Chorus: Alessia Cara]
Only so many sheep a girl can count
Patchouli candles burning out
I try to meditate it all away
But, damn, it is too quiet now
Daylight helps distract my head
Monsters hide under my bed
They bother me with all kinds of things like
"Where do I go when I'm dead?"

[Chorus: Alessia Cara]
Is it too much to ask for a sweet dream?
Need a step back from my feelings
Life is not so bad when I'm sleeping
Is it too much to ask, too much to ask for a
A sweet dream?
For a sweet dream

[Verse 2: Alessia Cara]
6:58, sun's peaking through the curtains
I drift away, suddenly the wheels are turning
Songs are in my head, scary thoughts begin to worsen
Once I'm wide awake, it's too hard to reverse it

[Pre-Chorus: Alessia Cara]
Chirping birds are flying 'round my house
Patchouli candles burning out
I try to meditate it all away
But damn, it is too quiet now
Daylight helps distract my head
Monsters hide under my bed
They bother me with all kinds of things like
That one stupid thing I said

[Chorus: Alessia Cara]
Is it too much to ask for a sweet dream? (Sweet dream)
Need a step back from my feelings (Feelings)
Life is not so bad when I'm sleeping
Is it too much to ask, too much to ask for a
A sweet dream?
For a sweet dream
A sweet dream
For a sweet dream

[Bridge: Alessia Cara]
Sandman, can you visit me?
All I want is a sweet dream

[Verse 3: Alessia Cara]
8:31, I'm slurring every word now
I pray this cold coffee helps me with the rebound
How does everybody I know know how to sleep sound?
When we're all a mess, I guess the only way out is a

[Outro: Alessia Cara]
A sweet dream (Sweet dream, sweet dream)
Is a sweet dream (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah)
Sweet dream (Oh yeah)
Is a sweet dream (Yeah)
