Where did you go?
You were looking for answers
The answers to your questions
You asked questions of me all the time
But now I don't hear them anymore
I walk through this empty house
I see no pictures of you
On my blank white walls
I call your name and my voice just echoes
Lost in the emptiness inside
I really need you right now
Why did you have to go away?
I really need you right now
So don't leave me again
Just stay.
In my dreams I walk outside
I sit on a bench and you're right there
And when I reach out to touch your arm
I feel your sleeve beneath my finger
Wonder am I crazy
I'm not dreaming, am I?
And then I run inside my house
Call out the people living there
I bring something back in
From that bench
And ask them if they see it, too
If they see you
Sitting out there
Waiting on me
And they look confused at me
Say that of course they see
These things I see
Of course they feel
These solid things
Why am I asking stupid questions?
I rush outside and you're gone
I turn inside and you're sitting there
At my chair
Waiting on me
We laugh, we talk, we conversate
I look outside and see a face
Of someone
Someone I know isn't real
Anymore
And I know
That it's all a pleasant dream
You're not here
Not with me
It's not real
And I resolve to live this dream
Please, oh please, don't take this dream from me
And I spend all the dream with you
I spend all the dream making all the people I love real
I know it's a dream, but I make myself believe
That it's real
So, of course
It all falls into chaos.
So waking up
Isn't half so hard when you've already left the dream
It's not half so hard when it's now a nightmare, too
But I still
And I still
And I still miss you.
Don't take this dream from me
I don't want to see you, then wake up
I thought I was going crazy
Seeing you sitting there beside me
So, of course it was all a dream
A chaos dream
So, of course, it was all a dream for me.
But I still
I still feel it
Sitting there beside you on that bench
Reaching out
Touch your arm
And I feel it, it's there.
But it's not
It's not there
And it never will be.
