Dreaming Wide Awake

You'll never break these walls surrounding my heart
It's over before it even starts
Only light until the sky grows dark

Dreaming wide awake
Afraid to lose my head
At least till they explode
I'll keep my thoughts unsaid
The sparrow knows which way to go

Petals from the last love are fading in the wind
Crashing on the white shores
The waves will kiss again

Mysterious strangers know no bounds
No while we're here now
I beg of you quiet your sounds

Dreaming wide awake
Afraid to lose my head
At least till they explode
I'll keep my thoughts unsaid
The sparrow knows which way to go

Everything I wish I had never comes to pass
Promises like broken glass
Helpless on the floor
I bet you'd love if I would just surrender to the world
You just don't know how loud the silence can be

It's the silence that I keep

You'll never break these walls surrounding my heart
Softly wrapped in the dreamer's satin
The seeds within are sown

It's over before it even starts
Only light until the sky grows dark

You can't tell a bird which way to fly
You know in your heart that you can't force the sun to rise
