She was a dream
So ideal
So unreal
She knew me
Before I even knew myself
Oh every night
She waits there
I'm aware
It's in my head
But god it feels so real
Shoulda had a safety vest oh
Like the one I gave you
But with my shaking chest oh
I left it untried and untrue
We coulda been held together
With the string you gave me
But now I'm left here alone
Feels like the light at 116th
She was a dream
So beautiful, intangible
She loved me
Before I even loved myself
She's dressed in white this time
My wildflower
Don't you remember
The lake at night
We'd watch the world go by
More time is all I want
Need some company
Did you keep my paper box
Or was all that just a dream
Cuz a bird never sings by itself
Now I've gone and cut down the tree
She told me she couldn't help
Told me she couldn't help me
She couldn't help
Told me she couldn't help me
She couldn't help me
She couldn't help me
She couldn't help
Told me she couldn't help
Told me she couldn't help me
Shoulda had a safety vest oh
Like the one I gave you
But with my shaking chest oh
I left it untried and untrue
We coulda been held together
With the string you gave me
But now I'm left here alone
Feels like the light at 116th
