(Verse)
|
Baby when we¡¯re coming home at 4 in the morning
|
Before the sun was up
|
Back in the east was a fire of gold
|
Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love
|
|
(Verse)
|
Our hope is just a metaphor
|
A simple matter for all of our dreams tonight
|
And fear is just a shadow of
|
The things that matter the most and I fear that I¡¯m losing hope tonight
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Oh oh
|
I feel like I¡¯m dreaming
|
Oh oh
|
Staring up at the ceiling
|
Oh oh
|
It¡¯s 4 in the morning
|
I can¡¯t sleep and it feels like I¡¯m running
|
Oh oh
|
You wouldn¡¯t believe me
|
If I can say it just the way that I¡¯m feeling
|
Oh oh
|
The words that I wanted to say
|
I feel I¡¯m slipping away
|
|
(Verse)
|
Remember that kid with a quiver and that
|
His heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit
|
Where are you now?
|
Where are you now?
|
|
(Verse)
|
Remember that kid didn¡¯t know when to quit
|
I still lose my breath when I think about it
|
Oh where¡¯d you go?
|
(Oh where¡¯d you go?)
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Oh oh
|
I feel like I¡¯m dreaming
|
Oh oh
|
Staring up at the ceiling
|
Oh oh
|
It¡¯s 4 in the morning
|
I can¡¯t sleep and it feels like I¡¯m running
|
Oh oh
|
You wouldn¡¯t believe me
|
If I can say it just the way that I¡¯m feeling
|
Oh oh
|
The words that I wanted to say
|
I feel I¡¯m slipping away
|
|
(Bridge)
|
I know this isn¡¯t what you wanted
|
Last word til it comes and we¡¯re all in this now
|
And on and on and on and on
|
My heartbeat could tell you what time it is
|
I try to shout but the words don¡¯t come out
|
I feel I¡¯m slipping away
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Oh oh
|
I feel like I¡¯m dreaming
|
Oh oh
|
Staring up at the ceiling
|
Oh oh
|
It¡¯s 4 in the morning
|
I can¡¯t sleep and it feels like I¡¯m running
|
Oh oh
|
You wouldn¡¯t believe me
|
If I can say it just the way that I¡¯m feeling
|
Oh oh
|
The words that I wanted to say
|
I feel I¡¯m slipping away
|
