lyrics

Let’s run the risk of living
No fear is broadcast in our brains
Forget the tiredness you feign
Let life burst right through your veins

There’s light in you that’s so heavy
Joy is a frequency your dial needs to find

Start the car, a tape rewinding
Change the world by just changing your mind

There’s a morning that you can’t see yet
‘Cause distance just can’t understand

When you wake you’re a telephone not ringing
But the sky comes alive when it hears you singing
When you sleep you’re a telescope not seeing
But the night opens eyes when it sees you dreaming.

No-one belongs to no-one
No tear escapes, its ghost remains
Don’t run, be caught by someone
Set life to the mistakes that you’ve made

There’s light but it’s just not ready to be seen
You’ll find it in your dreams.

When you wake you’re a telephone not ringing
But the sky comes alive when it hears you singing
When you sleep you’re a telescope not seeing
But the night opens eyes when it sees you dreaming

When you wake you’re a telephone not ringing
But the sky comes alive when it hears you singing
When you sleep you’re a telescope not seeing
But the night opens eyes when it sees you dreaming.

Dreaming.
