Lyrics
More Awake When I’m Dreaming
I fell asleep last night
With a book in my hand
And I woke up on page one-hundred and ten,
Where I kissed a girl with a little tongue
As a building burned
and with smoke filled lungs
we watched as it came crumbling down
and I knew this wasn’t real in itself
but that’s neither here or there
in a dream when its felt
so I asked her name and she told me sin
and once again with a playful grin
she slowly slipped her tongue in my mouth
I can feel this getting stronger,
But it aint gonna last much longer
Oooo im more awake when Im dreaming
More awake when Im dreaming
Well I couldn’t wait to get to sleep that next night
I took three Nyquil it’s a sleepers delight
And then the light fell dim as the line between
Her toxic tongue and her sultry grin
Took hold
And started pulling me in
And she said
I can feel this getting stronger,
But it aint gonna last much longer
Oooo im more awake when Im dreaming
More awake when Im dreaming
bridge
And its sick and sad and it feels so bad
To feel so good
And its so wrong
That I have to wait all day long
To breathe her in
I can feel this getting stronger,
But it aint gonna last much longer
Oooo im more awake when Im dreaming
More awake when Im dreaming
Shivering
by Tim Wilkins
I followed you home last night
And slept right outside your door
And it felt quite alright
Though the night was rather cold
I was shivering
I wrote you a poem last
While you were readying for bed
But I don’t think you noticed me
In my black leather jacket
I was shimmering
I sang you a song last night
I sang it right beside your ear
And though you were fast asleep child
Well I swear I saw a tear drop from your eye
Oh my
Give me a moment so I can…
Savor this.
So wont you come over here?
In This Life
I drove a million miles
To escape from the sunlight
I put an old record on
And it spun round and round
In my minds eye
And I didn’t take no chances 2x
I know better than that baby I do know better
Someone spoke the truth
But I did not stop to listen
Time just keeps slippin
Drippin, fillin up this wishin
Well, oh well,
I guess we all end up there someday
Yes we do all end up there 2x
But in this life we are born
And then we die
Where do we go?
How can I find
Some peace of mind”
Inside myself is where I go
Cause the best things
I know where they are…
But I aint gonna take no chances..
I drove a million miles
To escape from the sunlight
I put an old record on
And it spun round and round
In my minds eye
And I didn’t take no chances 2x
I know better than that baby I do know better
But in this life we are born
And then we die
Where do we go?
How can I find
Some peace of mind”
Inside myself is where I go
Cause the best things
I know where they are…
Love Never Taught Me How
I hit a growth spurt when I was 16 years old,
Still nobody stood taller than you,
No sun could shine for her trapped beneath my shadow,
I was sheltered in her love, and she was caged in mine
Ooooo it must’ve been hard on you babe,
(it must have been hard on you babe)
Even as a child, I was digging my own grave,
You think I’ve learned so much now?
Truth be told love never taught me how,
It never never taught me how
Time rolled on, as summer went through a meltdown,
My tiny little heart would not give way,
I imagined you somewhere crying away,
So regretful, so sorry,
Sometimes we all can act so strange
Ooooo it must’ve been hard on you babe,
(it must have been hard on you babe)
Watchin me pretend that loves colors never fade
You think I’ve learned so much now?
Truth be told love never taught me how,
It never never taught me how
La La La La
