Sober Dreams

Verse 1

Late nights, same roads, different sky above

Everybody says time knows what to do with love

So I keep moving forward, keep my head down straight

But some names echo louder the more they fade

I can laugh with the crowd, I can play my part

Still a ghost of a melody lives inside my heart

And no matter where I run, no matter what I find

There’s a silhouette dancing in the back of my mind

Pre-Chorus

Maybe the odds ain’t on our side

Maybe the river changed its tide

Maybe forever slipped away that day

But something in me never walked away

Chorus

Brain might be tipsy but my heart still yearns

Still waiting on a fire I thought had burned

Maybe it’s foolish, maybe I’ll never learn

But my brain might be tipsy and my heart still yearns

For a feeling that lingers beyond concern

And if fate rewrites pages with every turn

Then my brain is tipsy and my heart still yearns

Verse 2

There was a season when the world moved slow

Every touch felt golden, every street would glow

Like I was floating somewhere far above the ground

Getting lost in a high I never wanted coming down

Now the mornings hit different, crystal clear and cold

The silence feels honest but it never feels like home

And I’ve learned how to live with the ache somehow

Still wishing I could taste that sweetness now

Pre-Chorus

Maybe we’re strangers passing through

Maybe the ending already came into view

But stories with real hearts don’t disappear

Sometimes they just pause for a different year

Chorus

Brain might be tipsy but my heart still yearns

Still waiting on a fire I thought had burned

Maybe it’s foolish, maybe I’ll never learn

But my brain might be tipsy and my heart still yearns

For a feeling that lingers beyond concern

And if fate rewrites pages with every turn

Then my brain is tipsy and my heart still yearns

Bridge

I don’t need promises written in stone

I don’t need certainty to carry me on

Just a quiet belief when the night’s too long

That some songs aren’t finished when the singer’s gone

Maybe the stars forgot where they belong

Maybe they’re gathering strength all along

And somewhere beyond what I can see

A missing chapter is still looking for me

Final Chorus

Brain might be tipsy but my heart still yearns

Like a candle protecting its last little burn

I know some doors close and never return

But my brain might be tipsy and my heart still yearns

For a dream that survives every lesson learned

And deep down I swear there’s a page unturned

’Cause my brain is tipsy and my heart still yearns

Outro

The night’s gone quiet, but I still believe

Some stories don’t end when they leave

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m right

But some kind of love keeps holding the light.
