city of salt - i dreamed we were alive lyrics

Loading...

i dreamed your face again, upended, dark
but i can’t seem to conjure a cure
and sometimes my hands forget how far you are
when they fight for to save something pure

but lord, they keep losing for sure

and i dreamed a little boy, lost in your arms
couldn’t call out to guide him back home
maybe i’m selfish, god, maybe i’m scarred
i just can’t up and hide what i know

and i can’t seem to find what you’ve shown

and i dreamed we were alive, both of us whole
while i wrestled with dogs big and red
i asked, “how deep is misery, how long this road?”
oh, darling, you know what i meant

but you haven’t answered me yet

and i dreamed a bitter man, hollow and cold
he went wandering through walls like a ghost
and what he would give to have someone to hold
but his heart doesn’t know what to know

so now he just lives through the phone

and i dreamed surrounded by something i’d missed
as i scratched off your names on my wall
i remember those summers, that habit, a kiss
but i can’t seem to pick up their call

and i can’t help but break my own fall

and i dreamed we were alive, mortal and kin!
and we swam through a sea, a dark host!
and we kicked at the ashtrails, and shut out the wind
oh, we put on one hell of a show

till a man came to call you back home

and i dreamed we were alive, you were the sky
and my father, he knelt on your bones
“oh, let him seek truth, him who wanders at night!”
then i hushed him and hung up the phone
