About a dream

lyrics

How do I know what’s right
How do I know the feeling of dark inside
How do I know my heart
Isn’t a virus deep in its darkest part
It breaks my heart
Blood is frozen deep in this heart of mine

How do I know you're gone
Why were you ever here where your light was on?
When were you here at all
Where were you when your needs were aligned with mine
Your chalk outline wears me down it’s
Seared in this heart of mine

I wanna feel like I did yesterday
I wanna feel like I did yesterday
When the fever of a lover’s touch would sear into my heart
The heat of love a wall around me, a feeding power line of light
I wanna feel like I did yesterday

How do I know what’s right
How do I know the feeling of dark inside?
How do I know my heart
Isn’t a virus deep in its darkest part?
Your chalk outline wears me down it’s
Burned in this heart of mine.
