All Time Low - Nightmares Lyrics






There's a little house, on a perfect little hill
Just short of a fairytale
There's a little child with a million ways to feel
Caught up in a hurricane
Paper-thin walls
Angry words from down the hall
Something changed then
I think about him every now and again

Now there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight it
I gotta say, it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares
I'm still having nightmares
(I'm still having nightmares)

Never did I think I'd be coming back around
Digging up old memories
Always used to be the one to let it go
Kept my fears in a suitcase
I locked them away
In a place I wouldn't find
They still haunt me
I think about it every now and again

Now there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight it
I gotta say, it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares
I'm still having nightmares
(I'm still having nightmares)

Now there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight it

Now there's a ghost in the back of this room
And I don't like it
I fall asleep with my covers pulled up
And try to fight it
I gotta say, it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares
I'm still having nightmares
(I'm still having nightmares)

I gotta say, it's hard to be brave
When you're alone in the dark
I told myself that I wouldn't be scared
But I'm still having nightmares

    The first verse about the kid was me when I was younger before my parents got divorced.. All Time Low, this song is still super helpful for me and my current situation and I just wanted to thank you for all of your amazing music. Each song seems to help me and it's amazing how you manage to do that with each word. Love you guys.

    When you relate too much to a song
    Holy heck does this hit me in the feels

  27. c.... ....

    Describes my life all too well.

  28. M.... P....

    the album felt less like All Time Low. maybe because of adding a little EDM to it? Not really disappointing but not really that moving like your old albums. But, I still liked the songs

  29. S.... ....

    Wow, first song I've heard off this album and I'm in love with it. Really hit hard.

  43. N.... A....

    Everyone’s saying how they relate to this
    song because of childhood not nightmares. I think it’s more about depression but ok...

  44. W.... A....

    Tengo una obsesión con esta canción desde que salió:’( ahhh la amo❤️

  45. L.... E....

    Is it just me or is Donald Trump on the TV in the background?

  46. H.... J....

    Alex's voice in this is so soothing. It calms me when I have anxiety attacks.

    H.... J....

  48. R.... L....

    Reminds me of a book called "The Tiger Rising"

  52. H.... A....

    :']got me again

  53. R.... ....

    I've kind of sorta liked a couple of songs by All Time Low up to this point, but I stumbled across some lyrics from this song on Tumblr. And can I just say, HOLY SH—?

  54. c.... ....

    IS ANYONE ELSE GETTING SERIOUS DANGER DAYS VIBES FROM THIS ALBUM OR IS IT JUST ME

  55. G.... M....

    I get so emotional and I don't even know why

  56. K.... D....

    I feel like they wrote this about me.... I know how this feels... I used to have horrible dreams but they've stopped. I connect to this song more than anyone will ever know

  57. C.... V....

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! I can die happy now.

  58. E.... D....

    I really want to get into it, I love the lyrics just the sound isn't something I am normally into to. I really want to like this song but its just not working. Ugh, the lyrics are amazing I am just used to more like hard sounds like electronic or rock. I want to get into it so bad... I just can't. I've listened to these so many times. I love the lyrics but the sound drives me away. Not saying it's bad: it's just in my veiw, I don't the sound. I want to keep trying but I've done it so many times I don't think I'll be able to get into it.

  59. J.... H....

    Just woke up from a nightmare, it's 5:30am, and I came here because I'm really scared and none of my friends are awake, so I'm trying to listen to music to forget about it

  60. N.... A....

    I just decided to listen to this while cutting the onions.

  61. K.... R....

    My favourite line on the whole album is "Now there's a ghost in the back of this room and I don't like it." The rest of the song - and the rest of the album - uses language that clearly signifies Alex is an adult, but for that one line he reverts back to the scared little child: "I don't like it." The rest of the chorus contains childish concepts: "I fall asleep with my covers pulled up", "It's hard to be braver when you're alone in the dark"; but for that one line he actually reverts to thinking like a child in the face of the old fear. It's brilliant writing and I'm in love with it.

    K.... R....

    That... Was touching

  62. r.... ....

    the instru is good

  63. M.... N....

    I can't listen to this song without crying.

  64. N.... C....

    Hustleeeeeer Forever.

  65. S.... ....

    i relate to these lyrics so hard

  66. M.... S....

    this song is exactly what I been waiting for. seriously, the album has it's up and downs but this song is not a mistake.

  67. M.... ....

    I'm still having nightmares

  68. A.... S....

    Always my favorite band

  69. B.... B....

    If they ever play this live, I will start singing Stella bc this is literally just a pop song

    B.... B....

    Not really sure what that would accomplish....

    and are you insinuating that Stella isn't a pop song? That's pretty funny, dude.

  70. c.... i....

    DEEP SONG BUT IF YOU TURN ON SUBTITLES IS HILARIOUS AT 3:45 IT SAYS BUSINESS VAGINA AND A COUPLE SECONDS BEFORE THAT IT SAYS LISA FRANK POTATO SACK, IM SORRY

  71. c.... c....

    I'm crying so much

  72. l.... c....

    nice song

  73. E.... D....

    Say hello to my little nightmares

  74. Y.... O....

    THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER NO COMPETITION

  75. T.... B....

    Goosebumps man, that's how you know it's an amazing song

  76. K.... ....

    i keep replaying Alex saying "room" help it's so pleasant

  77. N.... S....

    cool comeback but I miss your old songs they are the best👌

  78. F.... ....

    I'm listen to ATL since I was 10 years old and now that i'm 18 I'm 100% sure they get better with time

  79. D.... P....

    I miss pop punk sound...

  80. l.... ....

    This summer I'm working completely alone in a different part of the country from everyone I l love, I have really bad anxiety so this is kinda a big deal. The work I'm doing is a once in a lifetime chance, so I wasn't going to turn it down, still... I'm really lonely, and it's hard to keep the nightmares away.

    This song helps with that tremendously.

  81. C.... w....

    I love this song, Last Young Renegade, and oddly enough... Dirty Laundry. That song seriously grew on me more than I ever thought it would.

    C.... w....

    Cards with Chris! Same here. I wasn’t sure if I liked it at first, but it didn’t take long. ❤️

  82. D.... ?....

    Okay what the hell i did not notice that the background was glowing

    D.... ?....

    I thought I was just tired, so I didn't pay attention to that till now XD

    D.... ?....

    :0 woah

  83. A.... j....

    Good song good album nice ATL. .

  84. b.... ....

    oh..look at that my eyes are sweating from hOW MUCH RELATE TO THIS SONG

  85. p.... j....

    okay, which idiots disliked this video?

  86. E.... M....

    This album fucking sucks

    E.... M....

    How? this is their best album by far.

  87. o.... w....

    Therapy part 2 u.u beatiful song really cool

  88. H.... J....

    People is ignoring this song a little bit and I think it's one of the most important and powerful songs of the album. You can realize how Alex has grown as a songwriter by just listening to this. Outstanding.

  89. H.... G....

    Favourite song off the album for sure! ❤️😋

  90. C.... N....

    This makes me cry so hard every time I hear it. I love it so much ❤️

  91. T.... F....

    I honestly think this is about Alex's brother and when I hear this song I just want to give him a big hug❤

  92. L.... ....

    LOVE THIS ALBUM AS MUCH AS I LOVE MYSELF ♠

  93. T.... ....

    Crap this hit me hard

  94. C.... S....

    My favorite song right now.
    "Now there's a ghost in the back of this room and I don't like it. I fall asleep with my covers pulled up and try to fight it"
    Holy shit this hits me right in the feels.

  95. O.... ....

    I legit think this is about Alex'a brother.

  96. H.... M....

    This new album sounds like a OneRepublic album

  97. W.... W....

    Anybody else think this sounds like All Time Low if they existed in the 80's?
    Not a bad thing, just what it sounds like to me.

  98. C.... B....

    Onions attacked me when I heard this the first time. I wanna hug Alex so bad.
