We were wrapped In the warmth Of a day dream Like a newborn Sound asleep Til someone pulled the sheets away We were cool In the shade Of ambition Of what could be made By desire made us tired And wishing never got us well Well And now I lie awake Most nights Wishing I could cut these tethers If I could sleep Well then I could dream I'd dream of ways to sleep forever I'll lie and wait For the world to end Never mind (never mind) My strange hesitation (every time) As you plot out the days Still ahead How I dread Breaking your heart again It's not you That I can't Quite imagine For the first dance It is me I don't see Making it to dance with you You Cuz now I lie awake Most nights Wishing I could cut these tethers If I could sleep Well then I could dream I'd dream of ways to sleep forever I'd lie and wait For the world to end If I could only be holy again If I could only be whole again If I could only begin again
