Paroles de A Lifetime Of Preludes

They don't know where I was
They don't know, and they can't say whether I should've given up
And they can't feel, and they don't see
Only I can know how thin the walls have grown inside of me
In the dark
On my own

But in my dreams, I was in your arms
And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime

I don't mind what they say
'Cause they all pretend to care till it's inconvenient to stay
And of course, I wish I smiled more
If I could help myself, I wouldn't be here stretched out on the floor
And a day
Can get so long

But in my dreams, I was in your arms
And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime

I remember holding hands on the bank of the reservoir
And it saddens me to see how far that it is from where we are And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I love you for dear life

And in my dreams, I was in your arms
And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime
