Your picture on the wall
|
is moving by the wind.
|
The fan is turned up high.
|
I'm frozen to the bone.
|
And yet I like the effort.
|
and I cannot stand to go and turn it off.
|
|
It's nights like these
|
I'm not distracted by the sound.
|
I sit for hours in a chair inside my head.
|
There's one more in the attic.
|
If I brought it down,
|
you think you'd like to join me, tonight?
|
|
And so my dreams,
|
they fill me up.
|
They bring me down
|
and the dry me up.
|
When I'm with you though,
|
smiling, as I know
|
I only have so long
|
before the sun will rise.
|
|
A quiet slumber creeps across me,
|
I am taken.
|
I feel so unrehearsed,
|
I'm walking all alone.
|
And when the light is fading
|
I'm not surprised to see none other than your own.
|
|
And so my dreams,
|
they fill me up.
|
They bring me down
|
and they dry me up.
|
When I'm with you though,
|
smiling, as I know
|
I only have so long
|
before the sun will rise.
|
|
And I've been waiting for this
|
parallel universe to traverse the distance
|
from mind to matter.
|
Let it be for real.
|
Let me know my future,
|
let me be free.
|
Let me be at ease, please.
|
Pretty please.
|
|
And so my dreams,
|
they fill me up.
|
They bring me down
|
and they dry me up.
|
When I'm with you though,
|
smiling, as I know
|
I only have so long
|
before the sun will rise.
|
Will rise.
|
When will it rise?
