about

a childhood dream of you and me.

lyrics

How can you love someone you never knew?
How can you hate the boy for what he put you through?
When the whole time he’s screaming:
“Hope’s a dream for the lucky few, not me and you”

Love is blind
At least he says that all the time
Clawing his back, bruises, scars, and heart attacks
Until he sees what’s left of me
The faded hope we had the same dream
The same dream
The same dream

And it was you, you built cathedrals
Lego houses piece by piece
And it was me, who tore them down
As I watched you drown in our make believe town
I watched you drown
In this town

Fall asleep he says to me
For when you dream you see another side of me
Is it the parts you never need, but the love I tried to see?
The love I see
The love I see

And it was you, you built cathedrals
Lego houses piece by piece
And it was me, who tore them down
As I watched you drown in our make believe town
I watched you drown
In this town

And I’m coming home tomorrow, will our love still be hollow?
And I’m coming home tomorrow, will our love still be hollow?

And it was you, you built cathedrals
Lego houses piece by piece
And it was me, who tore them down
As I watched you drown in our make believe town
I watched you drown
In this town
