Oh, I won't lie to you
I have been here once or twice before
You haven't got a clue
Oh, it's temporary
This swollen heart sweet as it is
Has an expiry
Oh, if you could change the past
Would you be right here in front of me
Oh, if I could make this last
So that one day you don't wake up and see
I'm not a dream
Oh, is it my rosy cheeks
That tint the sea glass lens you use
To delude what you see
Or when you gaze at me
Does my pale skin serve as a canvas
For a projection screen
Oh, if you could change the past
Would you be right here in front of me
Oh, if I could make this last
So that one day you don't wake up and see
I'm not a dream
Oh, if I sang this song to you
Would you hear the truth in my words
Or just the supple tune
Oh, would you say to me
How wrong I am and I'm ignoring
What this all could be
Oh, if you could change the past
Would you be right here in front of me
Oh, if I could make this last
So that one day you don't wake up and see
I'm not a dream
