lyrics

-- Lyrics --

I have dreams about your old house
And the trees lining the way
Leaves move like underwater
But I can’t recall the street name

But you there, sprawled out on the sidewalk
With my hands tangled in your seaweed-hair
Wind blowing currents all around us

When you forgot how to swim
I wrote you a tribute
I wrote you one hundred songs
Just like this one
That you’ll never hear
Cause this is just a conversation with myself

Still every night I dream I’m swimming through the air
Every night I dream I’m tugging at your hair
Every night I dream this never happened at all

Every night I dream I’m swimming through the air
Every night I dream I’m tugging at your hair
Every night I dream this never happened at all
