Lorie was a girl who built up all her world out of nothing
G# Fm Cm Cm
She's got a bright mind and a smile but something in her eyes is fading
G# Fm Cm Cm
She thought she could escape from the things in life she was afraid of
G# Fm Cm Cm
She'd rather take a run than to take a quiet walk in the sun
[Chorus 1]

Waking up from a dream

That wasn't quite what it seemed

Waking up to begin
G# D# D#
A# life out' this sunken dream
[Verse 2]

She always tried to find a reason to deny the real thing
G# Fm Cm Cm
Cause something in her mind has been locked from behind for ages
G# Fm Cm Cm
She built a castle in the sky but a dreadful hollow sound became so loud
G# Fm Cm Cm
That she couldn't hear a word from the friends who came around to save her
[Chorus 2]

Waking up from a dream

She suddenly realized she'd been holding her breath for too long (soft drums)
G# Fm Cm Cm
And now she is emerging from a dive within the depths of a dark sea (soft drums)
G# Fm Cm Cm
She's coming into sight, yearning for part of a good time
G# Fm Cm Cm
Desire is the sign that made her leave illusions behind…
