I am sleeping
I am wide awake
I have nightmares
When I see the light
I am whispering
In the darkness
I am screaming
When I see the light
There's a cardboard box
In the hallway
Filled with all these
Good intentions
Taped up
Every time that you go by
Like a seedling
In a garden
On a hot and murky
Summer day
In bloom
Every time that you go by
It's a blessing in disguise
It's the heart racing tonight
It's a toothless grin
It's a wink and a nod
It's smoke and mirrors
It's a sense of loss
It's the way you look
It's the way you sing
It's the way that you
Believe in me
It's a nightmare
Every time you disappear
We are rainbows
In the summer sky
Multicoloured
And fading fast
We are driving
Against the wind
Burning rubber
And fading fast
There's emergency
There's urgency
In the darkness
In the jungle
Hunting lions
When I hear your name
Like a splash
Of rain
Across the face
A golden space
A place of devastation
When I hear your name
It's a blessing in disguise
It's the heart racing tonight
It's a toothless grin
It's a wink and a nod
It's smoke and mirrors
It's a sense of loss
It's the way you look
It's the way you sing
It's the way that you
Believe in me
It's a nightmare
Every time you reappear
It's a blessing
It's a blessing
It's a blessing
It's a blessing
It's smoke and mirrors
It's smoke and mirrors
It's smoke and mirrors
It's smoke and mirrors
It's a blessing
When I hear your name
It's a blessing
Every time that you go by
It's smoke and mirrors
It's smoke and mirrors
