Only

[Verse 1] If it was only in our heads, only in our dreams Nothing we ever spoke of nothing evergreen You know I dreamed we were hunted by lions thirsting for red So we hid out in the brambles played like we were dead Never terrified of what that might mean [Chorus] Why is it clinging to life this longing that should now be dead? Why do I need you feelin' your claws in my back? I got a few ideas and an image of you in my bed [Verse 2] If it was only a mirage, a hopeless scene Nothing close to water, nothing so serene You know I dreamed we were walking a wire across a ravine Locked in on each other then I hear you scream But I never saw you open your mouth [Chorus] Why is it clinging to life this longing that should now be dead? Why do I need you feelin' your claws in my back? I got a few ideas and an image of you in my bed [Verse 3] If it was only for the foolish decision to careen Nothing that you walk from nothing so clean You know I dreamed of the end of the world That old nightmare routine I found you in a closet with your mother's old tureen You said here's one fear I had not confirmed [Chorus] Why is it clinging to life this longing that should now be dead? Why do I need you feelin' your claws in my back? I got a few ideas and an image of you in my bed I got two ideas and an image of your claws in my back
