How many of us know where we’re going?
We only know where we’ve been
And where we hope to begin again

One time there was a love of the life
But that was when I was young
There was nothing to feel but strong

Days are nights with the light turned on
I can walk straight if I can see
But I can’t sleep if you’re not next to me

Some folks make it in spite of themselves
Something finally reached them
They don’t put anything above their friend

We think it gets easier the longer we’re alone
We are shadows of our own making
But my dreams know I’m the one who’s faking

Nights are days with the light turned off
I can’t walk straight if I can’t see
But I can if you’re sleeping next to me

You might say it’s not too late for tomorrow
Are you ever late if it’s not your time?
But tomorrow won’t wait in yesterday’s line

I wanted to burn like a wildfire in your forest
You didn’t understand so you held me back
You thought I would make your green leaves black

A dream knows about day and night
It tells me the way things ought to be
But how can I see without you next to me?
