When I wake up in the morning
I have to pinch myself
To remember that fairytales
Hold no wealth
In this real world
For I am a dreamer
Of love, of life
And always do I fear
Drifting away
Going too far

With you I fear everything
Everyone
I'd rather be aware
And able to build my walls
Than absent from reality
Caught up in you
When I find out
You are not so caught up in me

I'd rather hear a siren's wail
A simple 'I'm not so sure'
Before the dam crumbles
And the heart strings snap
- so I can shut the door

But this wave is no tsunami
It's physical pain yes,
but it can't be seen
I've been there often enough
That I already look twice
And try not to dream

As there is no early warning system
That's why I'm afraid
Of you, of open doors
As once I'm down the river
I can do nothing but drown in your force.
