lyrics

Shifting shapes, they pass across my eyes.
Fluttering, the clothe brushes my face.
Mindlessly I surmise that I've awakened from a dream,
and then I began to relay the scene.

But to my surprise, for how hard I tried, no words would emerge from my throat.
So I fell on my knees and saw old magazines that were cut to resemble a fire...
That's burning a hole deep inside the fray,
Of wicker and tendrils of creeping ivy.

Quicker than light, I did realize that none of the chaos was true.
So I peered through the screen and I couldn't believe,
I saw you reaching out to hold onto me.

All that I want is for you to know,
You're everything to me that is real in this world.
There's always a place that won't ever fade,
Where if you're ever lost, that you can reside.
And just like two trees that grow into one,
We will twist up towards the sky.

Just as the night is slain by the flight of the sun,
I find myself rising.
But your head's on my chest, and my hand's in your curls and there's no place that I'd rather be.

I drift into a sea of sleep, I get my feet wet.
Dreams let me hold on to the moments I'd forget.
And I don't really care if it's real or not,
just as long as you are here.
So take your time and listen, as I whisper in your ear.
