Except Us Dreamers -

dreamers

where do we end up

staggering out into the sun after

some desperate final run

we’d never dreamed of

maybe i’d wake up

drag myself from the burning plane

no log books

just a wall of flame

where my dream was

but the waking life has nothing over this

in the sweetest light

there would always be a dream i’d miss

heard your voice through a crack in the ice

a frozen ribbon in your hair

i knew i carried a great weight

more than you could bear

each night i found the waterfall

through the rows of newborn trees

no lightning strike

of brutal truth

could have stopped the likes of me

though the rocks rumbled far below

i came as close as i was dared

it took a while to realize

i’d already fallen there

up to the meadows by the ruins

the aurora held us tight

forget the curses we both hide

will you stay

will you stay tonight

there is nowhere else but right here by your side

as your body melts

i freeze

but all dreams will fall

they’re running out of time

so just spend it all

with me

there is nowhere else

(diving down now)

there is nowhere else

(there is nowhere i’d rather

brave the flames to save)

but all dreams will fall

(but all dreams will wake and fade)

so just spend it all

(so just spend it all before we burn

this precious chance

away)

dreamers

where do we end up

staggering out into the sun after some

desperate final run

we’d never dreamed of
