Story Behind The Song
The same came to me in a dream. I was playing this piano part in my dream while my friend was jamming on the guitar. It also comes from that friends divorce and the whole idea of divorce.

Lyrics
Time is never my friend it takes so long just to set
in one place when the world spins slowly
and I know what you want to say right now
It's not my thoughts I hear; It's not my thoughts I hear
Because I hear you talk when you're away from me
it's just like energy flowing right through me. I can't take it.
When we walk away we lose the right to say I love you now
Is that the way it always ends.? I know!
Is this love? Is this love?
Or am I awake?
I want to know.
Is this love? Is this love?
Or am I awake?
Would you tell me how it's suppose to be. I lose myself when I talk to you
but the words sting out in a mess of my own hypocrisy.
They wont even talk to me. They wont even talk to me.
But I know love is just two hearts that bleed.
Will you set right down next to me. Please set right down next to me.
And I want to be next to you. I want to hold you here.
I want to hold you here. I know!
Is this love? Is this love?
Or am I awake?
I want to know.
Is this love? Is this love?
Or am I awake?!?
I want to know!
Is this love? Is this love?
Or am I awake?!
I want to know.
Is this love? Is this love?
Or am I awake?
I want to know.
