lyrics

Undream the night, just before you've woken
I could live there inside a chance
That your goodbyes would remain unspoken
As your whispers abscond to dance

Holding balloons like precarious chances
That alter the moonlight so white

Right after you cried, distant cages opened
Where the chords of your voice were kept
Words you confide, when the moon draws closer
As a specter whose heart is wax

Reach me on the tautest strings
I fear the things you chant
Even when you go to sleep
Your dreams can make me sad
Notes unceremoniously torn beside my hands
Rain that falls improbably within the ballroom dance

All alone in someone else's dream
You wrote letters so replete with woe
Things that couldn't be

All alone in someone else's dream
You rode carousels unseen
My ghost, my ghost

Why should such high ceilings make you lonely
I'd feel safer inside a chance
The one you loved dreams about you only
Always waiting inside your glance

Even when your heart begets
A countenance so grand
Even in my glowingness, we lose each other's hands
Even when there's nothing there at all
