Teaching myself to dream

I throw myself into the rain,
As we run down these old train tracks again,
The moon is naked in the sky,
So maybe you and I could fly, or pretend,

As the stars fall from grace,
And light your glowing face,
I'm teachin' myself to dream,
I'm holding my breath to scream,
I'm teachin' myself to believe in the things I don't understand,
I don't even know if they're true,
That's what dreamers do,

Can't say what day it is or year,
But thou shalt have no fear,
For I know your name,

You can't believe what I did,
And maybe I'm just a kid,
But then we're the same, I watch the hours through the glass,
And know the time will finally pass,

[Chorus]
I'm teachin' myself to dream,
I'm learning what love can be,
I'm teaching myself to,
Believe in the things I don't understand,
I don't even know if they're true,
That's what dreamers do,

Stapled eyes can't open until waking,
And all your lies will be your undertaking,

I let mind dance and flow,
We'll make magic and I'll know,
As the lilacs slowly grow,
All my dreams are true

[Chorus]
