lyrics

And when he dreamed that he saw you
It was every breath that he couldn’t take
And when he knew that it was you
Then he wished he might never awake

And shards of broken glass came shattering through the scene
Open your eyes and you’ll never see what I mean

And then he dreamed that he heard you
As the sound of everything starts to fade
And a song that we all once knew
Was the only thing the orchestra played

And all the broken notes just fell into harmony
I could try to recreate it, but you’ll never hear what I mean

And then he dreamed that he touched you
And the mountains didn’t seem so tall
Beneath your skin, the light within you
Burned so bright that he saw it all

And the bits of broken hope got washed back into the sea
I could try to explain it, but you’ll never see what I mean
