Wake Me Up (When This Nightmare’s Over)

I can’t believe this mess we’re in
Tell me where do I begin?
‘Cause it’s making my head spin
And I can just feel it
It’s never been so loud and clear
I wish that I could disappear
To a place that’s far from here
‘Cause I can just feel it

Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright

Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Yeah, make it stop, it won’t last much longer
I wanna get away but I can’t escape
Try to run but I’m going nowherе
Yeah, wake me up whеn this nightmare’s over

 

When did this stop making sense?
When did dreams get left for dead?
How the hell did we forget
That nothing else matters?
If we hit the lowest low
There’s only one place left to go
And I won’t just give up hope
‘Cause nothing else matters

Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright

Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Yeah, make it stop, it won’t last much longer
I wanna get away but I can’t escape
Try to run but I’m going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over (Over, over)

Tell me we’ll be alright (When this nightmare’s over)
Tell me we’ll be alright (When this nightmare’s over)
Tell me we’ll be alright

Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Yeah, make it stop, it won’t last much longer
I wanna get away but I can’t escape
Try to run but I’m going nowhere
Yeah, wake me up when this nightmare’s over

Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright
Wake me up when this nightmare’s over
Tell me we’ll be alright
Tell me we’ll be alright (Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah)
Tell me we’ll be alright
Wake me up when this nightmare’s over

Simple Plan to release a new song next week!

AUTHOR: Dominika | 30. March 2022 | no comments

Not even a day after Pierre Bouvier let it slip during a livestream on Instagram that Simple Plan would be releasing a brand new song from their upcoming album ‘Harder Than It Looks’ (out May 6th) “in just a few weeks”, the band came out with an announcement today.

On Instagram, the band shared an illustrated image with a date that refers to April 8th 2022, which is the assumed release date of the already predicted new song. The image, which we assume will be used on the song’s artwork, depicts a rigged little boy from the back, holding on to his teddy bear. 

Which song will it be? There are no clues to it as of yet, but surely the band will let us know in time. In the meantime, you can go back and check out the already released tracklist of the songs that will be featured on the album and guess which of the songs might this illustration be tied to. Any guesses?
