THE DREAM

Hey, how are you?
It's me, I've been well
Scribbling songs between job ads from hell
I hope that you're happy and teaching's alright
I hope that you haven't lost any real sleep at night

Been up for hours
I'm mourning a friend
Will I see you again?

I spoke to your brother
I hope that's okay
He asked if I'd catch a film with him some day
I'm just trying to think like a twelve year old does
It's harder for them as, I know, it was hard for us

I'm racking my brain
Cos I can't figure out
Why there's peace in the pain
You get to a point
Where you care so much
That the happiest path
Is the hardest to walk

Been up for hours
I'm mourning a friend
Will I see you again?
Patient until the end

Days melt into night
For what it's worth
I think you were right
You're a buried seed in dirt absorbing light

This is not the dream I had

Been up for hours
I'm mourning a friend
Had my heart in mind
Gone for weeks
I know we'll both be fine
I'll be patient until I can dream again
