Dreaming Lyrics

Wish I could be more conscious in dreams

Transfer vividity from life to sleep

It could stall my nights and stretch the time

More laughs with you than other nights

Something 'bout running my hand through your hair

Then feeling my fingers brush past the air

Sickens me down to the stomach

Something 'bout whispering "love you" as we fade

Then waking with no one and no words to say

What a tear-drawing heartache I can't seem to shake

Cause it's a dream when I'm sleeping

But it's a nightmare when I wake

Cause it's a dream when I'm sleeping

But it's a nightmare when I wake

You'd think I'd want to go to bed

When they're inside my head waiting for me

But when I wake with all that dread

I'd rather stay awake for hours and hours than go to sleep

Something 'bout running my hand through your hair

Then feeling my fingers brush past the air

Sickens me down to the stomach

Something 'bout seeing your face in the night

Then morning revealing the void by my side

What a love-wrenching wake-up that rings in my mind

Cause it's a dream when I'm sleeping

But it's a nightmare when I wake

Cause it's a dream when I'm sleeping

But it's a nightmare when I wake

These bitter-sweet illusions

Of rarified roses

Make little of the guidelines

That reality proposes

These bitter-sweet illusions

Of rarified roses

Make little of the guidelines

That reality proposes

These bitter-sweet illusions

Of rarified roses

Make little of the guidelines

That reality proposes

These bitter-sweet illusions

Of rarified roses

Make little of the guidelines

That reality proposes

Something 'bout running my hand through your hair

Then feeling my fingers brush past the air
