lyrics

I spoke to you all evening
And I dreamt of you all night
You appeared on every videotape
Been present all my life
I was moved by this coincidence
Your past was shed in light
Within range or over oceans
You always were in sight

I wasn't scared
When people all around me died
Froze to death or disappeared
One by one they fell in line
Maybe they were filing in for me
For all the sadness that I feel
Like the tide that rises up
And sinks back down out on the sea

I woke up with this feeling
I am sitting with right now
Opening the window frame
Wishing it would fly away
On weary clouds and tired skies
The clock could bury under time
Because what's the point of sleeping
If I wake up sure that I have died

They built this town with concrete
And they made my body out of clay
To live another life one second
I would sacrifice a day
I guess I am just tired
All the right conclusions never came
But I'll conclude by hoping
that one day I will be saved

From dreams like these
that turn the people that I care for into demons
that I run from
Prove them wrong and fall in love with me
Not someone else
