Except Us Dreamers

Dreamers
Where do we end up
Staggering out into the sun after
Some desperate final run
We’d never dreamed of

Maybe i’d wake up
Drag myself from the burning plane
No log books
Just a wall of flame
Where my dream was

But the waking life has nothing over this
In the sweetest light
There would always be a dream i’d miss

Heard your voice through a crack in the ice
A frozen ribbon in your hair
I knew i carried a great weight
More than you could bear

Each night i found the waterfall
Through the rows of newborn trees
No lightning strike
Of brutal truth
Could have stopped the likes of me

Though the rocks rumbled far below
I came as close as i was dared
It took a while to realize
I’d already fallen there

Up to the meadows by the ruins
The aurora held us tight
Forget the curses we both hide
Will you stay
Will you stay tonight

There is nowhere else but right here by your side
As your body melts
I freeze

But all dreams will fall
They’re running out of time
So just spend it all
With me

There is nowhere else
(diving down now)
There is nowhere else
(there is nowhere i’d rather
Brave the flames to save)
But all dreams will fall
(but all dreams will wake and fade)
So just spend it all
(so just spend it all before we burn
This precious chance
Away)

Dreamers
Where do we end up
Staggering out into the sun after some
Desperate final run
We’d never dreamed of
