The One I Wake For (Live at Sunset Sessions)

(Verse 1) If every dream is real in another universe Then I have loved you across endless worlds Through fields of starlight and oceans of glass In lives that are future, in lives that are past I've held your hand in a thousand different skies And looked for myself in a million different eyes (Chorus) Yet I still choose to wake, I still open my eyes Leaving behind the most beautiful skies For no dream could ever create a version of you More perfect than the one I wake for No, no dream could ever compare to the truth Of the one I wake for (Verse 2) The mind can paint wonders when the night falls down Build castles from whispers, a throne and a crown But the phantom touch of a shadow's embrace Can never replace the soft light on your face In the quiet morning, as the shadows start to fade I find the greatest world that was ever made (Chorus) Yet I still choose to wake, I still open my eyes Leaving behind the most beautiful skies For no dream could ever create a version of you More perfect than the one I wake for No, no dream could ever compare to the truth Of the one I wake for (Bridge) Let the multiverse spin, let the timelines roll Let the infinite versions take their toll They are only echoes, just a passing gleam I’d trade a thousand worlds for what we mean Because the best reality is the one where you are real (Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break) (Chorus) And I will still choose to wake, I’ll open my eyes With you right beside me as the sun starts to rise For no dream could ever create a version of you More perfect than the one I wake for No, no dream could ever compare to the truth Of the one I wake for (Outro) The one I wake for... Across endless worlds, it's always been you. But I choose this one. I choose to wake.
