I dreamed of you last night
Our shoulders almost touching like
The way the trees
Paint cracks along the sky
I'm not sure how we
Were breathing so far underneath
And you
Turned to me with tears
I don't remember the future
Being like this
What should we tell the kids?
In the street today
People's eyes were saying
Hold me, I'm afraid
But they walked by anyway
And in the park today
A bird flew down to me as if to say
I know you're human
But could you listen anyway?
I don't remember the future
Being like this
What should we tell the kids?
I dreamed of you last night
You were safely there on the other side
And you
Were just the way you smiled
Today I was old
Enough to know a birdsong full of holes
The world is
Just asking to be loved
I don't remember the future
Being like this
What should we tell the kids?
