The Thing About Dreams by The Airborne Toxic Event Lyrics
The thing about dreams
Is that everything seems
Like you're riding a wave
It's been forming all day in your mind
The thing about time
It's all in your mind
Days turn to weeks turn to years turn to infinite signs
What you're leavin' behind
And the hell with the rest
You gave them your best
You talk through your teeth
And the black cigarettes
And your hand
I've always believed
You were more than impossible
More than you seem
And hardly responsible for my life
For my eyes
Let's stay the night
We'll leave with the sunrise
The thing about me
Is I wanted to be
More than just friends
And hardly acquaintances
I, I wanna know why
Turn in your sleep
The secrets you keep
The things that you bury so deeply, discreetly inside
My, oh my
And the hell with the words
Or haven't you heard?
Nobody says what they mean
'Til the second or third
Whiskey ride
I've always believed
You were more than impossible
More than you seem
And hardly responsible for my life
For my eyes
Let's stay the night
We'll leave with the sunrise
The thing about love
It's never enough
Circumstance changes
And life's always calling your bluff
Enough is enough
And when you sleep
You're alone
When you dream you're just one
Of a million small pieces
My darling I see you, I'm one
I've always believed
We were more than impossible
You're more than you seem
And hardly responsible for my life
For my eyes
And now I've said too much
I'm not givin' up
I can't carry the weight
Of this overfilled cup
I just close my eyes
Like you're close to the touch and I'll dream, dream
You're not what you seem
You're not what you seem
Is that everything seems
Like you're riding a wave
It's been forming all day in your mind
The thing about time
It's all in your mind
Days turn to weeks turn to years turn to infinite signs
What you're leavin' behind
And the hell with the rest
You gave them your best
You talk through your teeth
And the black cigarettes
And your hand
I've always believed
You were more than impossible
More than you seem
And hardly responsible for my life
For my eyes
Let's stay the night
We'll leave with the sunrise
The thing about me
Is I wanted to be
More than just friends
And hardly acquaintances
I, I wanna know why
Turn in your sleep
The secrets you keep
The things that you bury so deeply, discreetly inside
My, oh my
And the hell with the words
Or haven't you heard?
Nobody says what they mean
'Til the second or third
Whiskey ride
I've always believed
You were more than impossible
More than you seem
And hardly responsible for my life
For my eyes
Let's stay the night
We'll leave with the sunrise
The thing about love
It's never enough
Circumstance changes
And life's always calling your bluff
Enough is enough
And when you sleep
You're alone
When you dream you're just one
Of a million small pieces
My darling I see you, I'm one

Like you're close to the touch and I'll dream, dream
You're not what you seem
You're not what you seem
