In my dreams
|
I see myself hitting a baseball
|
In a green field somewhere near a freeway
|
I'm all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base
|
And it's hot and
|
The kids keep on playing the driving game
|
And they're singing the same goddamn refrain
|
And the sky is a blueish grey.
|
And its become just like a chemical stress
|
Tracing the lines in my face for
|
Something more beautiful than is there
|
I've barely been gone.
|
|
In my dreams
|
I see you at the foot of some mountains.
|
And we're taking some pictures or something
|
And we'd better hurry up
|
And it's late and
|
The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees
|
And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans
|
And we'd better hurry up
|
And I've become just like a terrible mess
|
searching the lines in my face for
|
something more beautiful than is there
|
the crowds keep me coming back. Cheering.
|
|
In my dreams
|
I see you asleep on a twin bed
|
The covers pulled up over your head
|
Am I asleep or awake?
|
And it's morning
|
And the captain is playing the radio
|
And hes just put the paint on his new boat
|
Am I asleep or awake?
|
|
And it just feels good when you're waking up
|
And it just feels good when you're next to me
|
And it just feels good when you're coming home
|
And it just feels good when it's waking up
|
|
And I've become just like a chemical stress
|
Tracing the lines of my face for
|
Something more beautiful than is there
|
I've barely been gone
|
and I'm not a failure
|
I swear
|
I wish you could see it from over there
|
I've got a lot over here without you
|
I've barely been gone
|
gone
|
dreaming
|
