dying in a dream

Caught in a haze as the morning breaks through
Sun rips the shades in my room
I bury my head in my pillow
In thoughts of you
I see us both in a memory made
Riding an old carousel
I forget why we're laughing
But I guess it's just as well
Ooh-ooh
Ooh

I thought I was dying
But it, was only a dream
I thought I'd be crying
But it, only brought me peace
Not on the surface
But somewhere underneath
The things that we can't let go
Are impossible to keep
Sprinting as fast as my lungs can take
Though, I don't know what from
But the wind feels so good
And my legs are now just getting numb
It's the absence of things that are most present now
The joy and the pain of it all
Is that we can't go back
To times that we can recall
Ooh-ooh
Ooh

I thought I was dying
But it, was only a dream
I thought I'd be crying
But it, only brought me peace
I might not be certain
But it's strongly my belief
The things that we can't let go
Are impossible to keep
The things that we can't let go
Are impossible to keep
The things that we can't let go
Are impossible
