lyrics

If you’d be my pillow, well I could be your stone
Under my bed there’s a bottle of dreams, but I’ve got no place to call home
Comfort me, be my energy
I just need to recharge
Outside it is growing dark, but
Inside I’m quite warm

And no one needs to see
What’s good for you and me
These walls don’t keep us in
They keep the whole world out
And maybe one day this cold world will understand
But until then could I keep this bottle of my dreams safe in your hands?

I’ve been wandering, but you make me want to stay
These tidal waves that are pushing me down all seem to wash away
Within you I find solitude
Of the richest kind
I find myself alone with you
And I lose myself within

And no one needs to see
What’s good for you and me
These walls don’t keep us in
They keep the whole world out
And maybe one day this cold world will understand
But until then could I keep this bottle of my dreams safe in your hands?

If you’d be my pillow, I could be your stone
But one day I’d awaken to find I’m still alone
My words of inspiration fell silent in the air
A phantom side shadow emotion tapping at my skull

And no one needs to see
What’s lost for you and me
These walls are paper-thin
They crumble all around
And maybe one day this cold world will understand
But until then I’ll keep this bottle of my dreams all to myself
