[Verse 1] When I close my eyes at night Whole new colors in my mind Every stranger feels like home Every border just a line No one hiding from the dark Nothing chasing from behind Every child sleeps so deep Like the world has all the time [Chorus] Why can’t life be a dream Where every hurt just fades into the morning Why can’t life be a dream Where every door swings open when we’re calling I see it when I’m sleeping It slips away with daylight on my skin Why can’t life be a dream That we don’t have to wake up from again [Verse 2] I see sidewalks turned to parks Empty fists let fingers lace Every language Every faith Sharing tables Sharing space No more headlines in my phone Just the names of who I love Every fear I ever had Floating off like breath above [Chorus] [Bridge] I lie still and I rewind Hold that world behind my eyes Tell myself “it’s far Not gone” Maybe we just haven’t drawn The dream out loud enough to see What it could be [Chorus]
