Nightmares lyrics - Ed Sheeran

They tell me you can only dream when you fell asleep

But now I'm working to achieve, but sleep is the only thing I never see

And I vowed that my breathing will never cease

To the retrieve then I can't let them be

I won't let 'em leave and I had the same feeling since 17

But I wasn't ready then like a lemon's green

Now I'm in the magazines almost every week,

Cause I'm getting heat like in Tenerife,

Right now it's better than it's ever been

Never fade like a plant that's evergreen

It's what I hoped in my heart, but my self doubts are getting me,

Faith in my crafts getting dark by the day and I'm getting weak,

Cause I'm new, I'm not where the stars be.

They chase dreams together like a slumber party,

And now I'm on my own, even though I'm smooth sailing

I'm scared to sing, cause my nightmares'll fade in.

[Chorus:]

When the darkness creeps in,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

And when my dreams are sleeping,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

Oh, oh, oh!

I feel my nightmares watching me.

You better wake up cause I am making moves,

And even when I'm dozing I'm breaking rules,

I'm only hitting the sack when I'm training,

Too busy trying to keep up with the latest snooze.

Made my bed and that's where I'm heading,

I fly straight with the best man I embed 'em

Married to the game was a quiet wedding, then I had to fight to get her

Now I'm taking control of my inception,

Cause they try to hit my misses with my erection,

See they better marry donna cause when I strike, strike,

Not even Argentina's gonna cry for them.

See I'm awake at night, with the ammunish

The haters know where the family lives.

Anyone I catch playing knock down ginger,

Is gonna lose a lot more, than I need it.

They say sleep is the cousin of death,

But I hear shit, cousin I am deaf

Gang signs I'm a N/A reading.

I'm a CEO, man you suckers are next.

[Chorus:]

When the darkness creeps in,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

And when my dreams are sleeping,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

Oh, oh, oh!

I feel my nightmares watching me.

They watching me! They watch me sleep!

Let me go!

I fell asleep on sofa, woke up in reality,

And daydream about losing my sanity.

I've been rhyming forever got a blind flow.

So I can see an off note with my eyes closed.

But to achieve your dreams you can't doze off cause you dream a sleep

I ain't nodding off but I'm nodding to the beat.

I be shocking in my sheets, when I should have been asleep.

See, all the dreams I'm fond of,

You placed me in the team insomnia

Now, I'm Mr hard worker,

In my nightmares I'm Mr can't turn up,

And I missed my chance worst luck,

Trying to hit women like Mr Ike Turner

Ch'yeah, but I walked from that ish,

Now they gotta put me to rest, mattress.

[Chorus:]

When the darkness creeps in,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

And when my dreams are sleeping,

I feel my nightmares watching me.

Oh, oh, oh!

I feel my nightmares watching me.

Watching me!
