Dreaming
Fool's Garden Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dreaming.
It's not that easy any more when you say,
Dreaming.
Why did you close the opened door while in there.
We've never been so near the light without you.
I'm only half the man inside, see me,
You're so much more to me than anyone.

Leaving.
Say, do you still believe to find by
Leaving
The light that you just left behind and drive in there.
The sky is dark and full of clouds without you.
There's nothing left to kill the doubts to be with you,
Was to be found and now I'm lost again.

Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don't matter if we come home tonight.
There's a light, let it in again.

Sorry,
I never meant to break your heart so
Sorry,
I didn't see the shining stars right in there.
Now I'm lost in all the storms without you,
So afraid I miss your warmth.
Forgive me.
Don't let me fall and take me home again.

Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don't matter if we come home tonight.
There's a light, let it in again.

It's so easy,
We only have to go inside,
So easy.
Try to make it.
We won't fail,
We'll see the light 'cause it's in there.

Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don't matter if we come home tonight.
There's a light, let it in,
Do begin.

Is it wrong? Is it right?
It don't matter 'cause we came home tonight

There's a light, let it in again.
Let it in.

Sorry, I didn't see the shining stars right in there" shows the singer's regret for their past mistakes and their desire to reconcile.
