To Find You?ve Gone

Another late night
I just repeat myself
Over and over
To avoid sleep
?Cause I don?t want to dream

It?s been this way for weeks
The moment I drift away
There you are
In the backlight
Asking me if I want to stay

But I can?t sing this song
I can?t write these words
?Cause they might change reality
I?ve lived enough to know
That dreams can be made real
But they always end when I wake up
To find you?ve gone

This is just a simple tune
Not meant to be played for anyone
If you ever heard these words
I doubt you?d know you?re in this song
I never sent your letter,
And I curse my heart for the way she saw you
A year ago, almost to the day,
But it?s hardly worth mentioning ?cause

I can?t sing this song
I can?t write these words
?Cause they might change reality
I?ve lived enough to know
That dreams can be made real
But they always end when I wake up
To find you?ve gone

I stay awake to wonder where it?s safe
If you?d ever change your mind
And see me before you
Will you step out into this space

Will you ever make this real
Sometimes I think you will
But it?s too much weight to place on intuition
It?s too much like the past
It?s much too frightening
And I?m never what anyone expects
I don?t want to lose what already exists
But I can?t help wondering
If it?s dark where you are tonight
Are you haunted like I am
Do you see me in your conscience
Well, this is all I have to give, so,

I will sing this song
I will write these words
And they might change reality
I?ve lived enough to know
That dreams can be made real
And maybe once I won?t wake up
So, I will sing my song
I will write these words
And they might change reality
I?ve lived enough to know
That dreams can be made real
And maybe once I won?t wake up
To find you?ve gone
