I saw you in my dream last night
and now all I can think of is
our pixie dust encounter cause
we were so in love,
in my dream
We were so alive,
in my dream
But I woke up and
I was still alive -
still breathing
Not dreaming cause
I don't need you
Just want you
Just miss you

I'm flattered cause
I hurt you and
you forgave me
I didn't need you and
you still came back
But there is no flattery in
mediocrity
You're so much more miraculous
than your efforts
I'm just looking for reciprocity

You can barely take care of yourself
Barely feed yourself
How can I expect you to
care for me when
you seem to mistake
alcohol for water?

Crowded rooms may make you feel
like you're being swaddled
by a thousand arms but
I can tell you that there is no warmth like
being held by someone who
loves you back or
being held by someone who
can make you laugh
and has seen you cry
Being held by two small arms and
a girl filled with fire will make you feel
like you're dreaming
before you even shut your eyes
We've been there before -
arms entangled
heart strings entangled
forced by Time to
let go but stay entangled

I don't think you've forgotten just
Ran away and strangled
with new girls who
haven't seen you cry
Cause there's obligation in devotion

You don't wanna hurt someone who's
helped you through it all before
Don't wanna hurt someone
thats healed you

There's no denying
you love me
You told me so
just a few months back

I'm the girl in your dreams
We just meet in our dreams cause
We're both one part courage, one part broken and
there's nothing sleeping can't fix so
I sleep, to see you
I sleep, to fix you

We wake up alone, go to sleep alone
You're sick of counting sheep, well so am I
Why do we hide beneath the sheets that
we've been between together
I remember what you said between mine:
that you've always felt this way
Three years you've felt this way
Three years of telling me 'bout your girlfriends still
you've always felt this way

It wasn't a dream
I'll keep on waking up missing you
Cause you keep depending on
time and place when
what's important is time and faith
I guess I'll keep sleeping,
Cat napping and
Day dreaming
