lyrics

We're in the sea, engulfed in sunshine, wanting more
You say to me that anything worth fighting for
Is out of my hands when I set the goal
I've never heard anything less useful

I like to spend my nights arguing with you in my dreams

I can't explain why all your love flies out the door
You say to me that anything worth fighting for
Is thinking about storming out the door
I can't take this scene anymore

I like to spend my nights arguing with you in my dreams

You said it already—you said goodnight

When I'm feeling melancholy, I slip into my old dream
I watch dry out over days a well that was filled to the brim
Not quite what I had in mind, but I am beaming anyway
In my imagined memory, it ripples and breathes as a lake

If I ever hurt you, please know the feeling stays with me
Till I don't remember a time without it breaks everything
I never found the right words to sum up my affection—in truth,
It might have taken armies to keep me away from you
