I've been dreaming
Of gleaming lights
And long nights
Where we'd stay up
Until the sun would rise
I've been living on
Hopes and fears
For all these years
To carry me to the stars
So you might see me where you are
So many hearts I've left broken
So many lives, I've left behind
For every word I'd left unspoken
I'd given up on trying
I'd given up

A little laugh to ease the pain
Another lie to wash away
I won't let others see
The way I'm hurting inside
These dreams are all I have
The only constant thing that carries me
When I begin to fall into despair

I've been dreaming of
Gleaming lights
That shine as bright as my heart
I want the world to hear my voice
To understand what I have to say
I want to know what it means
To save a life with every key
I want my words to hold you tight
Feel safe inside
But I'm stuck right where I am
So far from you
Dreaming of ways
To get you through
Yet I can't even carry my self
