A Dream
REACH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cold early morning light
Keeping her from you
Could have let it go
Out of dreams again
And right through your fingers
But what do they hold?

It's about to happen
Until you get left behind
Calling out to her
A makeshift mind where you don't know

Just a temporary thought
Keeping me from you
But every time you show up
Out of dreams she said
Couldn't let it go
Until tomorrow

It's about to happen
Until you get left behind
Calling out to her
A makeshift mind where you don't know

In between; when you're lonely
In-between thoughts of me

It's about to happen
Until you get left behind




Calling out to her
A makeshift mind where you don't know
