In Love With A Dream

You walk in on a Tuesday

But my mind’s already gone

I’m tracing every maybe

On the margins of your name

You laugh about the weather

I memorize the sound

I’m building little futures

You’re just hanging out

I’m in love with a dream

Not the way that it seems

You’re a picture in my head

I keep painting while I sleep

I’m in love with a dream

You’re a story I repeat

You’re so close that I can touch

But you’re miles inside of me

You ask me how I’ve been now

I say “fine” and change the track

You talk about your weekend

I rewrite it in my mind

You’re holding someone’s jacket

I edit out their face

You’re talking about leaving

I freeze you in this place

I’m in love with a dream

Not the way that it seems

You’re a picture in my head

I keep painting while I sleep

I’m in love with a dream

You’re a story I repeat

You’re so close that I can touch

But you’re miles inside of me

Maybe I should wake up

Say your name like it’s the truth

Tell you every quiet scene

That starts and ends with you

But I don’t want to lose you

To the weight of what is real

So I hold you in the halfway

Where I never have to heal

I’m in love with a dream

Not the way that it seems

You’re a picture in my head

I keep painting while I sleep

I’m in love with a dream

You’re a story I repeat

If you ever turn and see me

Will you love the real of me

Or the dream you made of me
