In my dreams I am the man who always dies
And my stomach churns out half hearted goodbyes
And maybe someday soon we'll see each other again
But until then, my friend, this is the end
And in the evening I'll put on a play for my friends
And then they'll all say we wish the show would never end
I'll join in to pretend that I am one of them
But deep down inside I'm scared of what's to come
And then you come, with your rattle and your hum
Can you keep it down please, I'm trying to dream away
In the day I'll take a walk along the beach
And then I'll stare out at the deep blue ocean sea
And I'll fly around like nothing's ever gonna be
But deep down I can't shake the feeling I'm gonna drown
And I like to sing songs as Jesus
Because it distracts me from the pain in my heart
It's a whole lot easier to sing about grace and redemption
Than what awaits me in the fires down below
And then you come, with your rattle and your hum
Can you keep it down please, I'm trying to dream away
