Before I see the break of dawn
I see your face behind my lids
And keep my eyes shut untill you're gone
I dream of when we were kids
When kissing was only spelt in songs
Allowing what my mind usually forbids
But it does not cloak, it only prolongs
Waking up to a bright morning and empty bed
A vacant shadow where your body belongs
Filled with longing and words unsaid
To me, I wish to bring you home
Wiping my eyes, I turn my head
Imagine the scent of your cologne
Born from a depth so deep
I momentarily forget that I'm alone
You may not be mine to keep
But I'll see you when I fall asleep

Before I see the break of dawn
I see your face behind my lids
And keep my eyes shut untill you're gone
I dream of when we were kids
When kissing was only spelt in songs
Allowing what my mind usually forbids
But it does not cloak, it only prolongs
Waking up to a bright morning and empty bed
A vacant shadow where your body belongs
Filled with longing and words unsaid
To me, I wish to bring you home
Wiping my eyes, I turn my head
Imagine the scent of your cologne
Born from a depth so deep
I momentarily forget that I'm alone
You may not be mine to keep
But I'll see you when I fall asleep
