Was it all in real time
Or was it just in my mind?
Or was I just a ghost passing through you
Clinging to the wreckage
Until I got the message?
Hanging at the edge of the room

Give me something to dream
Give me half of your bitterest pill
Something from under the surface
You actually feel

We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in your eyes, in your eyes
They were just easy lies

The little words are heavy
And promises are easy
And no one's ever happy or sad for very long
But just because I said it
It doesn't mean I meant it
I guess that was the way all along

I'm just shaping the sound
I'm just turning the syllables round
Dipping my toe in the water
And watching you drown

We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same
It was in my eyes, in my eyes
They were just easy lies

And we've been a long time waiting
And it's been a lifetime in the making

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

We said "when you are alone and afraid
I [bad word] to your aid"
Well was it just a dream, just a dream?
Because it was real to me

We say these words again and again
But they still sound the same to me
Say these words again and again
And again and again
