Fallon, Brian - Little Nightmares Lyrics






I know you know I know that there's something that's worth holding on to
In spite of the burned out scene and the aging pains and the quiet little monsters
And you know I know you know that I feel the same, I feel just like you do
When I hear you say sometimes there's something pure about growing up lonesome

All my life I was the quiet kind
I just kept to myself and my dreaming
And all my life I just tried to survive
I'm not trying to shut you out

And she says, "I just wanna live, and if I get the chance then I would wanna live again,"
But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
All I want is to let you know but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
And little nightmares, keep telling me you'll go
Keep telling me you'll go

I see you shake and shake and shake and shake and I wanna reach out now
Because there must be a brighter light there's a simple life that gets past these breakdowns
And you know that I know you know that I crash the same in tiny little pieces
You gotta know that I'm on your side and there's something gold about someone you can bleed on

All my life I was the killing kind
I was cool as the cold stormy weather
All my life I just tried to survive
I'm not trying to shut you out

And she says, "I just wanna live, and if I get the chance then I would wanna live again,"
But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
All I want is to let you know but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
And little nightmares, keep telling me you'll go
Keep telling me you'll go

Don't you know there's an ocean of hope underneath the grey sky where you're dreaming?
And it's so hard to know which lonely hand you should hold
You can hold me until you don't want me
We can cry together through the bad dreams [x4]
Through the nightmare that is the waiting and...

And she says, "I just wanna live, and if I get the chance then I would wanna live again,"
But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
And all I want is to let you know but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
Wild horses couldn't drag me away (from you baby)
And she says, "I just wanna live, and if we get the chance I would wanna live again,"
But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
Where you leave me on my own

Fallon, Brian Little Nightmares Comments
  1. m.... b....

    i always end up coming back to this song just the way i found it;; on accident.. best accident i do, every time lemme tell ya

  2. S.... S....

    I believe the verse where he says "These wild horses couldn't drive me way" is a reference to the song Sticky Fingers By The Rolling Stones.

  3. M.... ....

    Beautiful song.

  4. B.... H....

    This guy is amazing

  5. A.... ....

    This song is pure genius, one of my favourites from the album and I'm glad you did it live in Manchester when I came on down

  6. G.... ....

    This song is just pure fucking anxiety.
    Not the kind you are actually in fear of something, but the lingering kind, that makes you active, revolving around yourself, trying to hold it together, while preparing for everything to fall apart.

  7. H.... B....

    Can't get enough of this one

  8. A.... ....

    My favourite from the album

  9. J.... C....

    AND WIIIILD HORSESSSSSS

  10. s.... g....

    I accidentally came here from a videogame, but I think ill stay.

  11. J.... R....

    “There’s something gold about someone you can bleed on...”

  12. Z.... ....

    3:20 you can hear someone keeping time in the background
    3:33 he cues the next bit of the song
    3:38 "like that"
    good song, but can't get past the shoddy production errors

    Z.... ....

    Ever thought he leaves that in on purpose?
    He's a big fan of Noel Gallagher who's quite strict on leaving count ins and stuff like that in the background of the recording because ''It makes it more real''
    So I wouldn't be surprised if Brian feels the same way, as do I, makes the shit more real

    Z.... ....

    I'm almost 100% certain he did that on purpose. They even put effects on the voices.

    Z.... ....

    yeah these are all very obviously intentionally done. all those sounds were EQ'd.

    Z.... ....

    cant you take the truth ;)

    Z.... ....

    Go back to your Taylor Swift style music that is over produced. You obviously ate paint chips as a kid. Dingleberry.

  13. G.... M....

    5 thumbs down?!? come on guys get your shit together

    G.... M....

    When I first read your comment I thought you were giving this 5 thumbs down. I was thinking what the $#@^& wrong with this cat then I realized you were talking about the 5 thumbs down this song has been giving by others, so what the $#@*& wrong with those cats are they truly twisted, their minds blown by to many fake drugs or what?

  14. C.... ....

    That chorus!!!

  15. I.... V....

    I know you know I know that there's something that's worth holding on to
    In spite of the burned out scene and the aging pains and the quiet little monsters
    And you know I know you know that I feel the same, I feel just like you do
    When I hear you say sometimes there's something pure about growing up lonesome

    All my life I was the quiet kind
    I just kept to myself and my dreaming
    And all my life I just tried to survive
    I'm not trying to shut you out

    And she says, "I just wanna live, and if I get the chance then I would wanna live again,"
    But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
    All I want is to let you know but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
    And little nightmares, keep telling me you'll go
    Keep telling me you'll go

    I see you shake and shake and shake and shake and I wanna reach out now
    Because there must be a brighter light there's a simple life that gets past these breakdowns
    And you know that I know you know that I crash the same in tiny little pieces
    You gotta know that I'm on your side and there's something gold about someone you can bleed on

    All my life I was the killing kind
    I was cool as the cold stormy weather
    All my life I just tried to survive
    I'm not trying to shut you out

    And she says, "I just wanna live, and if I get the chance then I would wanna live again,"
    But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
    All I want is to let you know but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
    And little nightmares, keep telling me you'll go
    Keep telling me you'll go

    Don't you know there's an ocean of hope underneath the grey sky where you're dreaming?
    And it's so hard to know which lonely hand you should hold
    You can hold me until you don't want me
    We can cry together through the bad dreams [x4]
    Through the nightmare that is the waiting and...

    And she says, "I just wanna live, and if I get the chance then I would wanna live again,"
    But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
    And all I want is to let you know but my words get lost and haunt the back of my throat
    Wild horses couldn't drag me away (from you baby)
    And she says, "I just wanna live, and if we get the chance I would wanna live again,"
    But I get this nightmare where you leave me on my own
    Where you leave me on my own

    I.... V....

    Where you leave me on my own (if you find better baby)*
    The background shout makes it even more better.

  16. B.... B....
