lyrics

I need an uplifting
Another dream
Another me
It's always the same old story
Floaters in my eyes, I can't see in front of me

I am pulling out the imagery
Crawling in my eyelids, shuffling inside me
Wishing they were real for the time being
Friendly illusions, just let me keep them

We left marks on the lawn, we were side to side, hand in hand
The moon hung real low, we swore we'd stay awake to see it land
And the grass, it grew taller but our bodies were like fossils in the ground

So I'm looking up instead of down
And thoughts of you are stickin'
And each movement you make
Burnin' right into my brain

Reach into my chest, I mean it
Take all that is left of my heart and keep it
Shape it into what you need, I'll be it I'll be it

I'll trace your hands and face with my fingers
I just can't risk forgetting any feature of the perfect creature
I've ever had the chance to know
