i had a dream that i tried to fly away
but every time i ended back at where i started
dont wait for better to come
always look brighter than the sun
ill wait for you to understand
til then, im here to hold your hand
i had a dream that i drowned inside the river
imagine my surprise when i could breathe inside there
i had a dream that i walked across the world
and erveryone i talked to love me and they loved you
dont wait for better to come
always look brighter than the sun
ill wait for you to understand
til then, im here to hold your hand
i had a dream that i tried to fly away
but every time i ended back at where i started

when you look in a mirror, what do you see?
(are you looking?)
there’s love there
(look harder, love is everywhere, everywhere)
always has been
(it’s in the eyes of strangers, every stranger)
don’t look at your eyes, your mouth
(look)
those are empty signifiers
(it’s everywhere)
love is more abstract than that
(you’re coated in it)
and more wonderful too
(it’s everywhere, drowning in a river of love)
i promise

fly high above the clouds and never look down
dance like a marionette and pirouette
you know just how to love you
you just never tried before

i had a dream that i tried to fly away
but every time i ended back at where i started
dont wait for better to come
always look brighter than the sun
ill wait for you to understand
til then, im here to hold your hand
i had a dream that i drowned inside the river
imagine my surprise when i could breathe inside there
i had a dream that i walked across the world
and erveryone i talked to love me and they loved you
dont wait for better to come
always look brighter than the sun
ill wait for you to understand
til then, im here to hold your hand
i had a dream that i tried to fly away
but every time i ended back at where i started
