Kid Travis falls into a dreamy soundscape, floating somewhere between the here and there. “Don’t Wanna Wake” washes over you like foamy ocean waves. “Girl, I’m a mess, obsessed,” he sings, “and you know it’s your fault / But now I can’t leave you alone.” It’s a tantalizing musical treat, as the performer admits his undying loyalty to a lover and how it all feels like a dream. “When I fall asleep, I don’t wanna leave ’cause you’re the dream I don’t wanna wake from,” he sings in the chorus. Synths light up the night sky with bursts of color. Even the melody radiates vibrancy, an addicting anecdote to all the static in the world.
