Dreaming of perfection, stability, the perfect day in one night's sleep.
Stretched out, awkward and long
two pillows instead of one, two sides instead of just mine
emptiness on any bed
I'm reminded I sleep alone.

I'm reminded there's room for two
but only one permenant guest
from one corner to the other
I dream for two
I sleep for two
I dream of you

Solitude at its finest, my heart desires
I wait for the sun to set
And I force myself to wake before the sun rises
I escape into my thoughts, my hopes
I design the perfect remedy for me
It's quick and complex
Skip from one to the next, reminding myself I sleep alone

But my heart's in it each time
But each skip never matches any beat of mine
I dream of you, I'm in need of you

The stars shine bright, but my nights get longer
I wonder, will I sleep diagonally forever ?
I fold under pressure, give into temptation
My heart waits longer, this wait time is never-ending.

I dream of a perfect day
A perfect place to spend the perfect time with a perfectl face that becomes even more beautiful over time
Breakfast in bed, feeding your heart
Never a kiss goodbye, always flowers instead
Lilacs and lillies, roses on Christmas
Candle lit dinner, a promise to begin with.

I dream of smiles, I dream of laughter
My heart's still fragile, your heart's much harder
But still still cracked in random places
Flaws and all, I dream I'm in love with your pain
Your side effects show, but I'm in love with your strength.

I do have my own, I do hold my own
I dream of what we could hold
I dream of a heart to console
I dream of a love to mold

Fairytale fantasy, no villians, just heroes
She's beauty and the beast
She's the servant, she's the Queen
She's Cinderella before the ball
She's beauty, flaws and all
I dream of magic and bliss
She's sleeping beauty, she's healed with one kiss
She's impressionable, she's memorable
She's my misfit, she's my quick pick
My win for life
My scratch-off that I never backed off from, instead I clenched my fists, found my grip and never backed off.
My jackpot, my earnings
My riches, my gold, my yearnings
My fortune...
Teller and cookie, I'm deserving.
I dream of tears of joy
Tears and joy
I dream for years to come
I toss, I turn
I frown, I yearn
When the sun's up.

Pillows damp, no flowers, no chance
No breakfast, no hand
I toss and turn because there's room for it.
My dream hasn't come true yet, but I still dream of it.

To love forever, hypothetically speaking of course
Once morning comes, I'll still be diagonally sleeping of course.
