About the work
[Verse 1]
That feeling,
Of not wanting to wake up from the dream where you have it all.
Of finally holding what you wanted most,
And then watching it vanish in an instant.
You try to fall asleep again, craving to get back what you lost.
But it’s too late.
It’s far too late.
[Chorus]
Three times I tried to sleep,
Just to find you again.
You were the only one who understood me.
The only one who believed in me, when I needed it most.
[Verse 2]
It’s so unreal,
How you never feel dependent,
When you don’t need anyone to shine inside your storm.
But you make the whole world feel absent,
When you don’t need anyone to be complete.
[Verse 3]
It was only a matter of time before I fell in your arms, with you life didn’t hurt so much.
Sometimes I just want to dream, to find you dancing or walking somewhere.
Only in dreams I can hold you, I always get what I’m seeking when I sleep.
[Chorus]
Once again I close my eyes for you,
Just to find you again.
The only one who understood me.
The only one who believed in me.
[Bridge]
I want to feel your tender lips again.
To caress your porcelain skin once more.
I want to hear your trembling voice in my ear,
And feel like I’m yours again.
[Chorus]
Three times I tried to sleep,
Just to find you again.
The only one who understood me.
The only one who believed in me.
[Chorus]
Once again I close my eyes for you,
Just to find you again.
The only one who understood me.
The only one who believed in me.
[Final Chorus]
Even awake, I keep searching in the dark.
In my dreams you’ll always be real.
Even awake, I keep searching in the dark.
In my dreams you’ll always be real.
