I had some dream last night and it woke me up,
It wasn't even bad, I guess that I just wasn't sleeping soundly enough,
So I rolled over, blinking at the wall beside my bed,
Even though I tried so hard, I couldn't think of anything else instead.
I just need to entertain,
A different part of my brain,
Cuz I can't sleep,
No, I'm too deeply awake,
Awake, no, I should save it for another day.
Now what would it cost you to tell me really all that's on your mind,
Ya know, I can't see into there and sometimes your meaning can be hard to find,
So let's go over everything we've been all over before,
Even though we said everything, I can't help but think that there might be more.
I just need to understand,
Why you're still tryin' to hold my hand,
When you told me,
That you wanted to be free,
To be free, well I guess it's not so easy.
And I don't know why,
I think that just because you cry,
I means that I should keep trying,
I tried,
So, should I just keep crying?
No, I tried.
You had some dream last night and it scared you right out of your sheets,
Looking out an open window, down to parked cars and empty streets,
Well it is not an easy thing for me to say,
But maybe you'll know what you really want some day.
Now I'm just sayin' what I've said,
See, the difference between my heart and my head,
Well they both wanted you,
But only one could make it through,
Make it through, but neither one could tell me what to do.
