Middle of a Dream lyrics

I still chase your ghost

I still walk these streets and feel your hand inside my own

Why do we have to run away to feel at home?

We spend lifetimes waiting

So what's another day

When hope is the only way we tolerate the pain?

And I woke up in the middle of a dream

Chasing someone or something

A hidden face I'd never seen

Where were you when I woke up (hey!)

To a world without your voice

To sing me back to sleep? Don't let it go

Are you letting go? Oh, oh, oh

I steady myself at the altar

And spell your name inside my mind

We're all someone else when the sun sets

Every time we close our eyes

But there's a world that's complicated

Somehow, we buried it alive

And froze like a river in the dead of winter deep underneath the ice

And I woke up in the middle of a dream

Chasing someone or something

A hidden face I'd never seen

Where were you when I woke up (hey!)

To a world without your voice

To sing me back to sleep? Don't let it go

Are you letting go? Oh, oh, oh

Of two worlds that I am caught between (between)

Which one is real, which one is just pretend?

'Cause you're a door I cannot close

A static voice that comes and goes

A fatal crash, and I can't look away, yeah

And I woke up in the middle of a dream

Chasing someone or something

A hidden face I've never seen

Where were you when I woke up

To a world without your voice

To sing me back to sleep? Don't let it go

Are you letting go? Oh, oh, oh

Still, I am wandering (wake up!)

In search of anything (wake up!)

That brings you back to me

That brings you back to me, oh, oh
