Lyrics

Dreamer

Weighing heavy on my heart
Every thought shoots like a dart
Where it lands Is where I'll start
Is it a curse or more my art
Giving love and giving hate
Give me patience and I'll wait

Oh dreamer, dreamer
Like a current through the stars
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer

There are millions just like us
Fighting fears and hiding love
Be the caffeine in the veins
All the necessary pains
Every moment fits a frame
Face to pillow, fades the shame
And if all was left to me
We'd be naked climbing trees

I'm a dreamer, dreamer
Like a current through the stars
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer, dreamer
Like a current through the stars
I'm a dreamer
Dreamer, I'm a dreamer
Dreamer
