in the night
the feeling
comes to me
the feeling
we could slip away
if we wanted to
the feeling
that this place is draining us
of everything we have
she knows
there are places
away from the world
perfect places
she wants to go to
perfect places
around the corner
perfect places
across the water
perfect places
that she talks about
so often
you talk and talk
but I think
they are closer
than you say
stop dreaming
stop telling me
you wish
you hope
you might
you should
when I dream
we are there
right now
when I dream
we are already going
say we are
and I am already there
waiting for you
my mind
can't stay here
much longer
my mind
is in another place
stop dreaming
the dream is alive
it is breathing
and I am a part of it
pack your bags
we are going
stop dreaming
and look at me
it is happening
right now
