[DREAMING YOU BACK TO ME] You were at my locker Late and not making study hall Kicking at that metal part Asking me how things have been so far,... You said- “Dude You look exhausted You still overthinking it all?” Then you grabbed my shoulder Grinning And I swear I felt your heart. Wake up with your name Caught inside my chest Half a broken sentence Hanging there with my caught breath I keep dreaming you back to me Where the worst thing we did Was cut class and drink cheap coffee You’re alive in my cracked TV On a rerun loop Same jokes Same shoes Same hoodies I keep dreaming you back to me,... ‘Cause this life feels too heavy When you’re only in my sleep,... I keep dreaming you back to me Where your phone still lights up With dumb memes- You’d always send me,... You’re alive in my memory In a backseat scream-singing EVERYTHING! Windows down The night still friendly I keep dreaming you back to me ‘Cause the morning slams down like concrete When you’re only in my dreams,... Your mom passed away last year, She missed her daughter not living here She told me she’s proud I stayed alive With her final breath I waved my goodbye,... I text pages your way when I'm alone at night Then erase it three damn times,...give up and cry Everyone says “time” Like it’s some magic pill But every night when the air grows still It reminds me I'm alone in this cell I keep dreaming you back to me To that worn-out couch Where we planned of escaping You’re alive in the in-between In the spine of a book I can't finish to read Of the high and the crash and the grief I keep dreaming you back to me ‘Cause awake I see that resting place And the things in life you couldn’t beat,... I keep dreaming you back to me Where your heart never races Past what it can take and keep You’re alive when my eyes are weak When the world goes soft And the guilt gets drowned out by misery I keep dreaming you back to me And I hate that I feel closer Detached from reality,... Did you mean to go? Did it feel like peace? Were you scared like me? Did you hear them scream? If you got that rest Why am I still asleep? Every pill you took Ripped chunks outta me! I keep dreaming you back to me Where we’re side by side Talking trash in our homeroom seats You’re alive where the shadows meet Every street we owned Every secret we would keep I keep dreaming you back to me Till the line between the nightmare And the good part’s buried deep I keep dreaming you back to me (yeah, I keep, I keep) Where you promise you’ll stay And I actually believe You’re alive in the way I speak In the habits I hate In the parts that still feel weak I keep dreaming you back to me When I wake I hold the ceiling ‘Cause the floor drops out from under me I only feel steady,... When I keep dreaming you back to me,... (Back to me,...) (Back to me,...) (Back to me)
