Dreamin'

Well, when I was young my mother married a man
No, I didn't much like him, didn't understand
Why I'd ever need another type of dad
But the weeks went by and he never did try
To be much more than a friend of mine
I guess I came to accept that he wasn't half bad

Then the years flew by the way that they do
And I realized that I never quite knew him
Any better than the boy with the chip on his shoulder had
Then one day a river swallowed him up
No, it didn't take much, just a bit of bad luck
And there it went, the only chance that I'd ever have

Now I've been dreaming about drowning
My screams turn to bubbles before they've left my mouth
Yeah, I've been dreaming about dying
When I do I always wake up feeling okay

Had a little dream a little while ago
I had a business trip I didn't want to go
But I kissed my old lady and walked on the aeroplane
Dreamed of touching down in another land
But a big storm cloud it had another plan
I'm awake now, still can't remember if I felt a thing

But I remember getting news about a kid I knew
He had a couple bad days, he got a little confused
Communing with the things that hide behind our eyes
All his old friends we had a hell of a time
Trying to reconcile what went down that night
Yeah a trip and a fall and that's all of a good man's life

Now I've been dreaming about falling
Down a deep hole or off the side of a mountain
I've been dreaming about dying
When I do I always wake up feeling okay
Alright, that's you

Now I've been thinking about dying
And what might hide on the other side of the light
Yeah, it might be heaven, it could be hell
Waiting on the other side of the veil
Me, I think I'm gonna wake up feeling okay

When I die I bet I wake up feeling okay
Yeah, when I die I bet I wake up feeling okay
