Let Babylon Burn — In A Dream With You

Everybody ’round me walks around smiling,
I try to keep up, but
I’m miles behind
I stand in the shadows when the world feels golden
Just searching for someone to lean this tired heart against
’Cause
I can’t see you, and
God, I need to see you
Need to hear that voice of yours saying, “You’re alright… keep breathing.”
When everything pushes against me and
I’m walking the wrong way
I lie down, close my eyes, and fall asleep
Just to wake up in a dream with you
Yeah, I just wanna fall asleep and wake in a dream with you
I’m standing in the storm by myself again, no hand to hold, no shoulder left to borrow
You used to pull me up when
I was breaking — but that time’s a ghost now
A doorway
I can’t walk back through
’Cause
I can’t see you, and
God, I need to see you
Need to hear that voice of yours saying, “You’re alright… keep breathing.”
When everything pushes against me and
I’m walking the wrong way
I lie down, close my eyes, and fall asleep
Just to wake up in a dream with you
Yeah, I just wanna fall asleep and wake in a dream with you
Ooooh… I’m fading now
Ooooh… Falling slow
Just let me fall asleep — let me fall where you still exist
I need to see you, but you’re nowhere near me
Need to hear that voice of yours saying, “It’s alright… you’re safe.”
And when the world turns against me
And every step feels wrong, I lie down, close my eyes
And fall asleep ’til
I wake in a dream with you
Yeah, I just wanna fall asleep and stay inside that dream with you
