A Lifetime of Preludes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They don't know where I was They don't know and they can't say whether I should've given up And they can't feel and they don't see Only I can know how thin the walls have grown inside of me In the dark, on my own [Chorus] But in my dreams I was in your arms And the lives we lived, they seemed so far And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine And I slept there for a lifetime [Verse 2] I don't mind what they say 'Cause they all pretend to care 'til it's inconvenient to stay And of course, we just smile morе If I could help myself, I wouldn't be hеre stretched out on the floor And the day gets so long [Chorus] But in my dreams I was in your arms And the lives we lived, they seemed so far And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine And I slept there for a lifetime [Bridge] I remember holding hands on the bank of the reservoir And it saddens me to see how far that is from where we are And I'm sorry that I let it end and that it got to me I just miss the way I see you when I sleep [Chorus] 'Cause in my dreams I was in your arms And the lives we live, they seemed so far And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine And I loved you for dear life [Chorus] In my dreams I was in your arms And the lives we live, they seemed so far And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine And I slept there for a lifetime
