Niki Colet - You Still Show Up in My Dreams Lyrics

You touched my face and smiled
You said, "Come away with me"
I was holding someone else's child
And she cried when I said
I can't leave
Leave

There was a circular bar
Flashing lights out of a sci-fi movie
You knocked back the last of your favorite drink
Put out a cigarette as you said to me
Hey
Babe

You pulled me to your lap
Gave me a kiss
You made a joke and I laughed
Said, "You're the only person that I would ever
Miss"
Miss

I don't think we get to choose
You will always be my muse
I never wanted to stitch your seams
You still show up in my dreams

I still listen to The Doors
With my windows rolled down in the dying light
But you don't live here anymore
I never told you but I just might
Sail away
To outer space

The last time we met
You shaved off
All of your Jim Morrison hair
We could never have been together, you said
Because I'd never go there
What if I tried
Tried

I don't think we get to choose
You will always be my muse
I never wanted to stitch your seams
You still show up in my dreams

So stay for a day
I tried to scrub you off
But you won't wash away
Come back
When you think it's time
I don't care what you do
You'll always shine

The memories get murkier the harder I look
There's no getting over you
I tell myself I left
But I don't think that's something I'd ever do

Come back
Come back
You can come home late
Come back
We can dance to the sound of 1963
I could listen to you play
The same old riff of Bohemian Rhapsody

I don't think we get to choose
You will always be my muse
I never wanted to stitch your seams
You still show up in my dreams

You still show up in my dreams
You still show up in my dreams
You still show up in my dreams
Come back
Come back
Come back
