[Verse 1]
I wake with your hand still warm on my shoulder
Though the room is empty, the feeling stays
A bruise of fear, then a rush of wonder
Each little touch leaves a mark for days
[Pre-Chorus]
I can taste the morning on your skin
Feel the door swing open from within
[Chorus]
Dreaming awake or asleep, I find you
Every nerve remembers what we knew
Fear and pain, then love breaking through
I want the whole bright world with you
Dreaming awake, with my heart wide open
Nothing tender has to stay unspoken
If this is desire, let it carry me
Happy in the pull of what we could be
[Verse 2]
Your name is a spark in the back of my mouth
A secret I carry through the afternoon
I feel your laughter before it comes out
Like sunlight turning a locked room blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Even the ache has a softer side
When I let your memory move inside
[Chorus]
Dreaming awake or asleep, I find you
Every nerve remembers what we knew
Fear and pain, then love breaking through
I want the whole bright world with you
Dreaming awake, with my heart wide open
Nothing tender has to stay unspoken
If this is desire, let it carry me
Happy in the pull of what we could be
[Bridge]
Let the body tell the truth tonight
Let the trembling turn to appetite
No more hiding from the sweetest flame
I feel alive when you say my name
[Final Chorus]
Dreaming awake or asleep, I find you
Every nerve remembers what we knew
Fear and pain, then love breaking through
I want the whole bright world with you
Dreaming awake, with my heart wide open
Every fragile promise now is spoken
If this is desire, let it carry me
Happy in the pull of what we could be
[Outro]
I wake with your hand still warm on my shoulder
And choose the feeling all over again
