Lyrics

[Verse 1] I take decaf coffee Two sugars and one cream I don't see the use in staying Up just to watch TV I unplug all the neon Turn the ringer off the phone Throw my thoughts like tomahawks Into this world which I disown [Chorus] Because the pillow that I dream on Is the threshold of a kingdom Is the threshold of a world where I'm with you It's a dark and snowy secret And it has to do with heaven And what looks like sleep is really hot pursuit [Verse 2] I hold your picture in my mind It makes me warm when I am cold Gets me up and it makes me walk It makes me question what I'm told Somewhere in a foggy atlas Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea First life takes time, then time takes life Now the next move's up to me [Chorus] Because the pillow that I dream on Leads to some fantastic glory It's the threshold of a world I can't ignore Like time unspooled from heaven Did you find me sleeping in your doorway? Now I'm here for good I won't leave you anymore [Instrumental Outro] [Sample] In other words Don't flinch Don't fall and hit the line
