Chorus

Images of yesterday float in my dreams.
Like little clouds they drift and morph.
Then today pops in and takes over.
I’m going on now.


Verse 1

Let’s make some throwing stars.
Let’s toss them high as dreams float by.
Let’s run away (far away).
I can’t wait to wish upon them
as they fall.
Then, let’s gather them and scatter the dusty ashes.


Chorus

Images of yesterday float in my dreams.
Like little clouds they drift and morph.
Then today pops in and takes over.
I’m growing, going, staying, fading to gone.

Verse 2

I’m going to build a dream with paper.
I’m going to glue it with rain and powdered ink.
I’m going to floor it with crayons and fingerprints.
It’ll be so rewarding to step back at night
as the glow-in-the-dark colors come out.
Won’t you come out too?

Chorus

Images of yesterday float in my dreams.
Like little clouds they drift and morph.
Then today pops in and takes over.
I’m growing, going, staying, and fading into forward.

Verse 3

Hey you! Write yourself a fairytale with video game characters.
Write yourself inside, so you can be the champion of another world.
Write yourself a beginning and middle,
But let me show you the non-cliché ending from my journal.
Together we’ll have the best story in this black and white world.

Ending

Scenarios of tomorrow tickle my imagination.
Like there’ll never be any writers block.
Then today sweeps it all away with a surprise.
I’m staying here until I can jump to tomorrow (Gone).
