DAY DREAMER

[Intro] Sun in my lashes Coffee gone cold Open book pages Stories I stole [Verse 1] Loose sweater slipping off my shoulder Window cracked Late afternoon Dust dancing lazy in the sunlight Like it’s in on the secret too Phone face-down on the table Half a text I never send Listening for footsteps in the hallway Of a place I’ve never been [Pre-Chorus] Every quiet corner Turns into a stage If I close my eyes I can outrun the days [Chorus] Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer I live in the clouds and I don’t come down Painting my plans on the ceiling now Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer I’m tracing a life only I can see Till somebody reaches and colors with me [Verse 2] There’s a ticket stub in my journal For a train I never caught Maps with circles over cities I visit only in my thoughts I rehearse hellos in the mirror Like we’ve met a thousand times You laugh And the room folds open All the exits flooded with light [Pre-Chorus] Every almost-moment I save it Frame by frame Even if it never happens I can play it anyway [Chorus] Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer I live in the clouds and I don’t come down Skipping on stars over this small town Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer I’m building a bridge out of maybe and might Hoping one morning it leads into life [Verse 3] I put your name in my playlist Right between hope and fear Sing along to words that don’t exist Like they’ve been ours for years Dinner gets cold on the counter Moon climbs over the street I’m dancing slow with an empty sweater Acting like you’re holding me (oh) [Pre-Chorus] Every whispered “someday” Echoes off my walls If I speak it softly It doesn’t sound so small [Chorus] Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer I live in the clouds and I won’t climb down Hearts on the glass looking out Not found Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer I’m stitching together the sky from a thread Saving a space for your shoulder and bed [Bridge] Maybe I’m hiding Maybe I’m home Inside these castles I’ve carved out of foam Maybe I’m waiting For someone to say “It’s okay to wander Don’t have to be brave today” [Bridge – Build] If you ever feel that pull in your chest (hey) Like a tide you can’t quite name If you ever stare too long at the clouds And they almost Almost say your name Then you’re a Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Come sit in my sky for a while We’ll color outside every line [Chorus] Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer We’ll live in the clouds and won’t look down Turn every “later” into “right now” Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer We’ll draw out a door in the blue overhead Step through together and call it our thread [Outro] Curtains breathe in the evening Street noise fading to gray I tuck all my half-spoken wishes Somewhere they feel safe to stay Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer Day dreamer I’ll meet you where the quiet gets deep We’ll wake the world gently From under our sleep
