While I Was Asleep
While I was Asleep
Some faces never fade.
Etched in our minds, while age pulls and tears and tries to change
But memories last while skin decays
The worst you can do you've already done.
Committed your crimes and tried to run
But I would give every breath in my lungs if I caught you.
While I was asleep, my mind, got it all wrong and I died.
Cuz I dreamed that I lost you
So I woke up and touched you.
Time is change, what remains is intention and empathy
Fountains of youth in my mind are all dried up
What's left is enough
We can smile and just fade away
While I was asleep, my mind, got it all wrong and I died.
Cuz I dreamed that I lost you
So I woke up and touched you and you saved my life - will happily help you
Down the wrong path, be careful don't choose to never be filled with grace
You're afraid of entrusting yourself with the truth that you always felt inside
I was afraid to try 'til you
While I was asleep, my mind got it all wrong and I died
Cuz I dreamed that I'd lost you.
So I woke up and touched you
Your delicate bones are a home
I'll fill in the cracks and patch all the holes
In 50 years more I'll open the door
Where I had held up just to keep myself warm
And when finally the cold sets in, we will lie down
We will be lost inside of a dream and you will find me, finding you.
