A lifetime of preludes


They don't know where I was
They don't know, and they can't say whether I should've given up
And they can't feel, and they don't see
Only I can know how thin the walls have grown inside of me
In the dark
On my own

But in my dreams, I was in your arms
And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime

I don't mind what they say
'Cause they all pretend to care till it's inconvenient to stay
And of course, I wish I smiled more
If I could help myself, I wouldn't be here stretched out on the floor
And a day
Can get so long

But in my dreams, I was in your arms
And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime

I remember holding hands on the bank of the reservoir
And it saddens me to see how far that it is from where we are
And I'm sorry that I let it in and that it got to me
I just miss the way I see you when I sleep

'Cause in my dreams, I was in your arms
And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I love you for dear life

And in my dreams, I was in your arms
And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
