Only When I Dream

Only when I dream
Only when I dream (dream)

To every day, there's a history
To every love that's lost, there is tragedy
I saved a vision of you in my head
I watched a new universe being born
Raised and bred in the calm of my bed

Some might say it's over now
I don't believe them
If I only got to you
I'd prove I'm right

Only when I dream
I hear you, I'm near you
I hold you close to me
Only when I dream
I touch you and I breathe you
I feel you deep inside me

Things were never easy for me
In the temple we built to stay sacred and free
I came looking for more self-esteem
All I found was your voice on the answering machine
Simple and clean

Some might say it's too far gone
I don't believe them
If I could only talk to you
I'd prove I'm right

Only when I dream
I hear you and I'm near you
I hold you close to me
Only when I dream
I touch you and I breathe you
I feel you deep inside me

I tried to catch a butterfly
I tried to make God's summer sky
Heal me
Rain exploding in my face
Seems to fade without a trace
Heal me

Only when I dream
I hear you and I'm near you
I hold you close to me
Only when I dream
I touch you and I breathe you
I feel you deep inside me

Only when I dream
I hear you, I am near you
I hold you close to me
Only when I dream
I touch you and I breathe you
I feel you deep inside me

Only when I dream
Oh, I feel you deep inside me
Only when I dream
(Oh-oh, na-na-na)
