about

“It’s an upbeat song but the song actually came from a dark place. I was struggling with sleeping, feeling unlucky in love and like my dreams weren't happening. In my imagination I pictured myself in a happy place, perfect guy, sweet life, my music dreams coming true. The song became a temporary escape from reality. It sort of rescued me. Every night I played it to myself as a comfort. Then I got into studio with my producer and that really brought the song to life."

lyrics

Lay down come with me 
Let your dream come alive 
Taking time just to be
 Everything you want is yours tonight
Tonight
Stay a while

In my awake dream
We are so happy
No one can find us nobody knows
In my awake dream Anything is possible I have faith for what I don’t see You can be anything I want you to be
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Anything is possible Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Close your eyes open mine
See a vision come to life In our world one of a kind
Much to discover much to find
For You and I
In the wild

In my awake dream
We are so happy
No one can find us nobody knows
In my awake dream Anything is possible I have faith for what I don’t see You can be anything I want you to be
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Anything is possible Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Space for us to breathe
Taste of what could be
Live in mystery Stay with me

Space for us to breathe
Taste of what could be
Live in mystery Stay here with me

In my awake dream
We are so happy
No one can find us nobody knows
In my awake dream Anything is possible I have faith for what I don’t see You can be anything I want you

In my awake dream
We are so happy
No one can find us nobody knows
In my awake dream Anything is possible I have faith for what I don’t see You can be anything I want you to be

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Anything is possible 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Anything is possible
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Anything is possible
 Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Anything is possible
