Song Description

This is for those times that you look at your significant other and ask: do I love you in reality, or in principle only? It's about loving the idea of someone rather than the actual person.

Lyrics

I look up as you walk in
You tell me that you're back again
I say that's great, it's been so long
You tell me that you've been so wrong

I take your hand and touch your face
You take me in your soft embrace
I run my fingers through your hair
If we're in love why can't I care?

Our perfect life's a dream to me
There's nothing more that I could need
But what's a dream when you can't sleep
It's just a memory to keep

I love the thought of loving you
I love the things we ought to do
I love the way we'll live as one
I love the things we should have done

You tried to leave, you don't know why
You couldn't leave behind the lie
We both believe what we won't say
Cannot be true, and so we stay

Our perfect life's a dream to me
There's nothing more that I could need
I love the time we plan to spend
If I could only comprehend
What I can't bring myself to do
To love more than the thought of you

Our perfect life's a dream to me

But what's a dream when you can't sleep
