In my dreams 

I see myself hitting a baseball

In a green field somewhere near a freeway 

I'm all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base 

And it's hot and 

The kids keep on playing the driving game

And they're singing the same goddamn refrain

And the sky is a blueish grey. 

And its become just like a chemical stress

Tracing the lines in my face for 

Something more beautiful than is there 

I've barely been gone.



In my dreams 

I see you at the foot of some mountains.

And we're taking some pictures or something 

And we'd better hurry up 

And it's late and

The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees 

And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans 

And we'd better hurry up 

And I've become just like a terrible mess 

searching the lines in my face for 

something more beautiful than is there 

the crowds keep me coming back. Cheering.



In my dreams 

I see you asleep on a twin bed

The covers pulled up over your head 

Am I asleep or awake?

And it's morning 

And the captain is playing the radio 

And hes just put the paint on his new boat

Am I asleep or awake?



And it just feels good when you're waking up

And it just feels good when you're next to me 

And it just feels good when you're coming home 

And it just feels good when you're waking up



And I've become just like a chemical stress 

Tracing the lines of my face for 

Something more beautiful than is there 

I've barely been gone 

and I'm not a failure 

I swear 

I wish you could see it from over there 

I've got a lot over here without you 

I've barely been gone

gone
