Sleep To Dream
Swimming with Dolphins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Packin up with tears in our eyes,
It's a pastime I'm used to
Gettin good at saying goodbye,
Since it's all I ever seem to do

Oh, I've been floatin around way too easy
Go, wherever the breeze wants to leave me
Never know when I'm coming through,
But when I do I'm gonna run to you
Cause it feels right...

How can you make it better?
(Whenever I'm with you)
How will we push on through?
(So I don't know why)
How can I keep us together?
(I'm living here without you)
I'm living here without you

I had a strange dream the other night,
Everything was better than I knew
The roads were gold, water was wine
And when we kissed the magic grew
I said Oh how can it be now
Oh, I just felt my feet touch the ground
I'm in love, I'm in love all the time
But it feels so new with you
Cause it feels right...

How can you make it better?
(Whenever I'm with you)
How will we push on through?
(So I don't know why)
How can I keep us together?
(I'm living here without you)
I'm living here without you

There's nothing to say now
You've run out of ways to let me down
There's too much space, not enough time
Unlike the days you were mine
Whenever I'm with you
So I don't know why
I'm living here without you
Cause it feels right...

How can you make it better?
(Whenever I'm with you)
How will we push on through?
(So I don't know why)
How can I keep us together?
(I'm living here without you)
I'm living here without you

Packin up with tears in our eyes,
It's the pastime I'm used to




Gettin good at saying goodbye,
Cause it's all we ever seem to do
