We see what we want to see,
but only a drop of what could be
Stop me if I'm going on
I dream in stale complacency
And in other words
tell me you're all right
Just a whisper and I dreamed you cry,
but I survived, courageous here
and in other words on other worlds

And when my hands begin to bleed
will you stay and comfort me?
I feel afraid I might be living Yeah

And if I had to the ends of Time
would I ever make you mine?
Just a whispered "yes" is all I need

Tasting you still on my tongue,
shaking conch shells one by one,
and trails of peaceful inequities
Insincere flattering by other ones
in other words

And when these wounds upon my brow,
begin to seep the truth we found,
do you feel we need to keep giving?
And if I promised the world for you,
I could make it all come true
With a whispered "yes" it's all I need

I don't know about tomorrow
I just know, I'll remember today
and the way you looked at me

If my hands begin to bleed
will you stay and comfort me?
You looked at me
You looked at me
