Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine You wouldn't wake up A chain that hangs down past your knee And one around your neck An XL kiosk tee Probably NOFX Green and tall were the liberty spikes And I know you grew up But for the rest of my life I'll picture you this way I didn't know you anymore So what does it matter? Why am I so angry? Shouldn't I feel sadder? I didn't know you So what does it matter? Why am I so angry? Why am I so shattered? At any moment The moment's gone Life just keeps moving on Every moment's wasted since this first began I was never going to reach out But now I never can I fell asleep first When I woke up you were sleeping I didn't want to wake you up What did you dream of? Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine You wouldn't wake up I swear to you that times are changing I swear that you are too I swear to you that I'm no different This I swear to you Now times are changing, but you remain Static through it all Wish I sent a message or made a call Your face was illuminated by the soft glow on the screen You're staying up all night While I was fast asleep Hey brother I can help you If you come to me I love you more than anything I have ever seen These were the last words that you said to me These were the last words that you wrote I miss you more than anyone I have ever known I always fell asleep first When I woke up you were sleeping I didn't want to wake you up What did you dream of? Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine You wouldn't wake up Wake up Wake up I'm must be dreaming It's a nightmare Please let me wake up Wake up Wake up Please wake up You were so much braver and so much stronger I wish that I could have held on longer I will light a torch in the dark before the dawn I will think of you each time I sing this song If your memory is alive in me, you're never really
