I never feel better when we aren't together You make me want to go back to bed I stare at the ceiling, and you know what I'm feeling You live in the visions in my head At night I paint pictures in my sleep Portraits of you lying next to me That's how I've always wanted it to be Never on my own At night my eyes play tricks on me They're closed but they see what they want to see You are still there even when you leave And I'm alone Sleep is for artists that don't know what to start with I gave away my tattered dreams I thought I was blinded, but it's been decided The world is not what it seems At night I paint pictures in my sleep Portraits of you lying next to me That's how I've always wanted it to be Never on my own At night my eyes play tricks on me They're closed but they see what they want to see You are still there even when you leave And I'm alone And here, in the light With a silver plane above I see the moon, I see the stars I see a flight of never ending stairs Circling around a vantage point I never want to look down And learn where we are The world is so dark and deep So I need you to hold on tight to me You need to tell me what I will believe That I'm not alone We're twisted in and in-between So far from the land and from the sea So take hold of me and we'll float down stream Away from home
