Was it all in real time

Or was it just in my mind


Or was I just a ghost passing through you?


Clinging to the wreckage

Until I got the message


Hanging at the edge of the room




Give me something to dream


Give me half of your bitterest pill


Something from under the surface

You actually feel





We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same


It was in your eyes, in your eyes


They were just easy lies







The lightest words are heavy

And promises are easy


And no one's ever happy or sad for very long


But just because I said it

It doesn't mean I meant it


I guess that was the way all along







I'm just shaping the sound


I'm just turning the syllables round

Dipping my toe in the water


And watching you drown







We say these words again and again


But they still sound the same

It was in my eyes, in my eyes


They were just easy lies







And it's been a long time waiting

And it's been a lifetime in the making




Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh




We said when you are alone and afraid(?)

I will come to your aid


Was it just a dream, just a dream

Or was it real to me




We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same to me

Say these words again and again


And again and again
