I am the words you whisper when you're whimpering in your sleep,
I am your dreams that you only wish you could keep.
I'm the first thought running straight through your head,
I'm the last thought your mind loses as you slip into bed.
I hope you think of me as something more than just an idea,
I hope I'm more to you than just a last-minute plan,
I hope your hopes are equally as real,
I hope you know you're all that I am.

You are my dreamcatcher, when nightmares are lurking
You're my muse when my mind isn't working.
You give me strength when I am feeling so weak,
You are what lifts me back onto my feet.

And I hope you know I'm in so deep,
I hope you know you've pulled me out of this depression
I've fallen so low,
But you are my medicine.

You're my simile, I'm just a metaphor
A simple comparison to the likelihood of life.
I'm the ocean's deep, you're the open door
Leading the way to a perfect life.

And I hope you see how badly I'm bruised
I hope you know that I'm empty and used.
But you filled me up again,
I hope you know, you are all that I am.
