The Dreamer
Nathan P. Holly Lyrics

Oh my love, you are a constant contradiction 
Your heart reads fantasy, your head non fiction 
Last night you told me you don’t believe in ‘the one’, 
Yet your eyes filled with tears as you watched the setting the sun 

It makes me sad to think you can’t see a life with me, 
Cos I dreamed we’d have some land one day and plant some apple trees 

Oh I know you think I’m just a dreamer
And I know you think if I climb too high I’ll fall  But baby when you say, I’m just a dreamer 
Your blowing out the candle in my heart 
Your blowing out the candle in my heart 

I know you don’t want to hurt me, as much as I don’t wanna hurt you 
But fuck it hurts to imagine one of us with somebody new 
Because when we’re intertwined like lovers, underneath the twilight covers
Time slows for a moment and our differences subside 
It’s like angels are watching over us, 
While there’s nothing to say 
As we drift out in the water, under moon light far away 

Oh I know you think I’m just a dreamer
And I know you think if I climb too high I’ll fall 
But when you laugh and say, I’m just a dreamer 
Your blowing out the candle in my heart 

Your blowing out the candle in my heart 

The first Christmas we were in love you gave me a poetry book of Sylvia’s
You wrote inside that you had caught a falling star 
I wondered why you felt I was falling rather than shooting 
Thought how can someone so romantic, build up so many walls 
If you just let me, I can show you how to ask for more 

Oh I know you think I’m just a dreamer
And I know you think if I reach too high I’ll fall 
But baby when you say, I’m just a dreamer 
Your blowing out the candle in my heart 
Your blowing out the candle in my heart

I know my eyes are full on moon just likes jonis always were 
You listen to her objectively, while I imagine I am her 
Oh I know she was your first love and you admire her all the same 
If only you could see my fire was built from her roaring flame 

Oh I know you think I’m just a dreamer
And I know you think if I climb too high I’ll fall 
But baby when you say, I’m just a dreamer 
Your blowing out the candle in my heart 
Your blowing out the candle in my heart
