in this dream

it is as easy as it seems

I put you away at the end of the day

in this dream

there are two hands untangling

the knots in my throat

but they won't go away



so what about you

whatever you say

why can't it be true

whatever you say



but this is no dream

you are the deaf ear listening

I know what it means to be seen

and not heard

it's no dream

you are the blinded eye observing

open my mouth

you can finger your way to the words



i'm talkin' 'bout you

whatever you say

why can't it be true

whatever you say



there are some things I must let go

I must let go

I must let them go

just keep on tellin' me I told you so

I know I know I know I know...



whatever you say



I fall into bed

the whole horizon's turning red

writing our names with a needle and a thread

stitching the clouds

as if the wounded sky had bled

all of these words that will never be said



without you

whatever you say

why can't it be true

whatever you say
