Dreams Lyrics

We were standing on the highway

Cars raced by on either side

No one stopped or yelled it felt a little strange

In the heavy metal hurricane

I took your hand in mine

Held you close, we watched the world change

To a desert, to an ocean, To a valley, still we knew

If we let go, we'd be struck there in the road

So when you pulled away and disappeared into the traffic

I was screaming out your name when I awoke

I don't sleep, you give me bad dreams

And I'm losing track of what they mean

I know a version of you with the keys

To my every insecurity

And you've no responsibility

I was thrust upon the stage

But I'd forgotten every word

So I improvised and nobody could tell

And as I accepted praise

My stomach twisted and it churned

This pretender felt worse than if he'd failed

And I finally picked you out amongst the blurry-faced crowd

You smiled, but you wouldn't say a thing

I begged you to be honest, You just cast your eyes down

It took me half the day to shake that sting

I don't sleep, you give me bad dreams

And I'm losing track of what they mean

I know a version of you with the keys

To my every insecurity

And you've no responsibility

I don't sleep, you give me bad dreams

And I'm losing track of what they mean

I know a version of you with the keys

To my every insecurity

I don't sleep, but can you blame me?

I can hold you in reality

There's a version of you that believes

In me even when I don't believe

That I'm worth the love you've given me

Tell me who could ever fall asleep?
