Middle of a Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I still chase your ghost
I still walk these streets and feel your hand inside my own
Why do we have to run away to feel at home?
We spend lifetimes waiting, so what's another day
When hope is the only way we tolerate the pain
And I woke up in the middle of a dream
Chasing someone, not something
A hidden face I've never seen
Where were you when I woke up
To a world without your voice
Sing me back to sleep, don't let go
Are you letting go? (Oh-oh-oh)
I steadied myself at the altar
And spelled your name inside my mind
We're all someone else
When the sun sets, every time we close our eyes
But there's a world that's complicated
Somehow we buried alive
And froze like a river in the dead of winter
Deep underneath the ice
And I woke up in the middle of a dream
Chasing someone, not something
A hidden face I've never seen
Where were you when I woke up
To a world without your voice
Sing me back to sleep, don't let go
Are you letting go? (Oh-oh-oh)
Two worlds that I am caught between (Between)
Which one is real, which one is just pretend
'Cause you're a door I cannot close
A static voice that comes and goes
A fatal crash and I can't look away
And I woke up in the middle of a dream
Chasing someone, not something
A hidden face I've never seen
Where were you when I woke up
To a world without your voice
Sing me back to sleep, don't let go
Are you letting go? (Oh-oh-oh)
Still I am wandering
In search of anything
That brings you back to me
That brings you back to me (Oh, oh)
