Remember coming home at four in the morning Before the sun was up Back when the east was a fire of gold Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love
Our hope is just a metaphor, of something better For all of our dreams tonight And fear is just a shadow of the things that matter the most And I fear that I'm losing hope tonight
Oh oh I feel like I'm dreaming Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling Oh oh It's four in the morning I can't sleep and it feels like a warning Oh oh You wouldn't believe me If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh oh The words that I wanted to say I feel them slipping away
Remember that kid with the quivering lip Whose heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit Where are you now? Where are you now?
Remember that kid, didn't know when to quit I still lose my breath when I think about it Oh, where'd you go? (Oh where'd you go?)
Oh oh I feel like I'm dreaming Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling Oh oh It's four in the morning I can't sleep and it feels like a warning Oh oh You wouldn't believe me If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh oh The words that I wanted to say I feel them slipping away
I know this isn't what you wanted Past words in the present are haunting us now And on and on and on and on My heartbeat could tell you it's urgent I try to shout but the words don't come out I feel I'm slipping away
Oh oh I feel like I'm dreaming Oh oh Staring up at the ceiling Oh oh It's four in the morning I can't sleep and it feels like a warning Oh oh You wouldn't believe me If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh oh The words that I wanted to say I feel them slipping away
