When I wake up

from a night of dreams

I want to see you lying next to me

With everything inside of me

I want to show the man that I can be

When the opportunity 

arrives

in the morning when I awake

the first thing I want to see in your face


They spread the distance between us

and the miles are just numbers counting 

down till they reach the end

they are few and far between


And all my hopes and dreams

are now on the back porch

for their significance

isn't what it was before 

was before

They spread the distance

between us

and the miles are just

numbers counting down


to raise the bar of standards

and to think everything through 

there's a light at the end of the tunnel

and it just so happens to be you


To say this is built on faith

to say the worries are of the past

there's a light at the end 

and it just so happens to be you

it happens to be you

it happens to be....

you're the difference


when i wake up

from a night of dreams 

I want to see you lying next to me

with everything inside of me
