Teaching Myself To Dream

I throw myself into the rain
as we run dow nthese old train
tracks again
the moon is naked in the sky
so maybe you and i could fly
or pretend

as the stars fall from grace
and light your glowing face

i'm teaching myself to dream
i'm holding my breath to scream
i'm teaching myself to
believe in things i don't understand
i don't even know if they're true
that's what dreamers do

i can't say what day it is or year
but thou shalt have no fear
for i know your name
you can't believe what i did
and maybe i'm just a kid
but then we're both the same

i watch the hours through the glass
and know that time will finally pass

i'm teaching myself to dream
i'm learning what love can be
i'm teaching myself to
believe in the things i don't understand
i don't even know if they're true
that's what dreamers do

stapled eyes can't open until waking
and all your lies will be your undertaking

i let my mind dance and flow
we'll make magic and i'll know
as the lilacs slowly grow
all my dreams are true

i'm teaching myself to dream
i'm holding my breath to scream
i'm teaching myself to
believe in things i don't understand
i don't even know if they're true
that's what dreamers do
that's what dreamers do
