About This Track

'Bad Dream' by Wallows is a 2024 alternative track from the album 'Model'. The lyrics sketch a night-time concern for someone trapped in repetition, with the speaker trying to intervene as teeth grinding and anxious questions circle around the fear of feeling nothing. Over it all sits the refrain of return, the insistence that something has been left unsaid, and the plea to be understood without being imagined, ending bluntly on the question, "Are you having a bad dream".

"Bad Dream" is a single by Wallows, from the album Model, released 23rd April 2024. The track is 3:31 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Wallows.

Lyrics

Bad Dream

Every night when you talk in your sleep
I try to stop you from grinding your teeth
Are you running away from something?
Are you worried you're feeling nothing?

Here we go again, tell me what's been left unsaid
I'm not in your head, can you help me understand?

Are you having a bad dream, baby?
Tossing, turning in our sheets lately
Are you having a bad dream, baby?
I wanna wake you, but you won't let me

Does it linger when days are still young?
Daydreaming and biting your tongue
On the other hand, maybe I misunderstand
Here I go again, am I projecting all your plans?

Are you having a bad dream, baby?
Tossing, turning in our sheets lately
Are you having a bad dream, baby?
I wanna wake you, but you won't let me

These nights are cold, you're not alone
I lie awake and feel you shake
I hold you close, but you never know
Is it just your dream or reality?

Are you having a bad dream, baby?
A reflection of your thoughts lately
Are you having a bad dream, baby?
I wanna wake you, but you won't let me (here we go again)

Are you having a bad dream, baby?
Are you having a bad dream, baby? (Here we go again)
Are you having a bad dream, baby?
I wanna wake you, but you won't let me (here we go again)

Here we go again
