Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]:
Poured myself a warm glass,
And laid awake.
I prayed the lord my soul to take.
I thought about you all day,
How we have the same face.
I fell asleep so confused,
Parts of me remind me of you.
How could I ever wish away?
[Chorus]:
Only ever in dreams I wrap my arms around you.
And standing in the water with me,
I can tell you what I wanna tell you.
And I hope it's not just a bad dream,
Hope it's not just a sad dream.
[Verse 2]:
I wake up and I hear my phone ring,
I hear your call and I let my phone ring.
When I got into my car and drove away,
I listened to the stereo play.
[Verse 3]:
I live by my own laws,
I stick to my guns and hold my head up,
To midnight sun.
Hoping you were tender in fate,
The fire baptism engulfed in my shame.
[Chorus]:
Only ever in dreams I wrap my arms around you.
And standing in the water with me,
I can tell you what I wanna tell you.
And I hope it's not just a bad dream,
Hope it's not just a sad dream.
[Chorus]:
Only ever in dreams I wrap my arms around you.
And standing in the water with me,
I can tell you what I wanna tell you.
And I hope it's not just a bad dream,
Hope it's not just a sad dream.
