lyrics

Coming to see you through the window
Hands are bleeding from the thorns in the vine
Got a backpack full of sweet snacks
Car is parked by the willow around the back
You’re in bed sleeping with an open bible
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for quite a while

Too afraid to imagine
The world beyond these walls
Your head is filled with stories
Of stumbles and falls

I wanna wake you and see your eyes glow
Watch you curl and stretch out like a cat
With the moonlight shining so bright
In my mind I flash a picture of this night
Your parents say I infect you with my dreams
Would leaving here be the worst catastrophe

Too tangled in your own thoughts
To have a true perspective
Everyone around you
Takes more than they give

Stepping forward I kiss your forehead
Brush your hair away and out of your mouth
Envision strange roads longing shadows
Passing landscapes we’ve only seen in books
I can’t bear to wake you from the dream you’re in
It’s just a future I’ll continue to imagine
Just a fantasy I let myself get caught in
