Line By Line
They watch you compromise your vision once again
You try and try
It was easier this time, gave another chance away
Tall trees & heart disease, I never thought I'd see you here today
It's just another broken fortune, a pointless game to play
So we trade stories about the things we never do or say, then turn away.
If I could dream the world away, find a way to make it safe
But I'm wide awake, I just can't close my eyes
If I could sleep my life away and throw it all into the void
Just close my eyes
Inside the puzzle of your mind something begins to overflow
Bad dreams and unforeseen distortions of a life you used to know
So lets pretend that it all happened, we can all enjoy the show
Constructed memories of all the places that you never got to go
Don't take the time they've given you
To undermine your point of view
Now there's still time for everything
Please don't turn away
If I could dream the world away, find a way to make it safe
But I'm wide awake, I just can't close my eyes
If I could sleep my life away (let a lifetime slip away)
And close my eyes
You try and try
It was easier this time, gave another chance away
Tall trees & heart disease, I never thought I'd see you here today
It's just another broken fortune, a pointless game to play
So we trade stories about the things we never do or say, then turn away.
If I could dream the world away, find a way to make it safe
But I'm wide awake, I just can't close my eyes
If I could sleep my life away and throw it all into the void

So lets pretend that it all happened, we can all enjoy the show
Constructed memories of all the places that you never got to go

Please don't turn away
If I could dream the world away, find a way to make it safe
But I'm wide awake, I just can't close my eyes
If I could sleep my life away (let a lifetime slip away)
And close my eyes
