"dying in a dream" lyrics

Caught in a haze as the morning breaks through
Sun rips the shades in my room
I bury my head in my pillow in thoughts of you
I see us both in a memory made
Riding an old carousel
I forget why we're laughing, but I guess it's just as well

I thought I was dying, but it
Was only a dream
I thought I'd be crying, but it
Only brought me peace
Not on the surface, but somewhere underneath
The things that we can't let go
Are impossible
To keep

Sprinting as fast as my lungs can take
Though I don't know what from
But the wind feels so good
And my legs are now just getting numb
It's the absence of things that are most present now
The joy and the pain of it all
Is that we can't go back to times that we can recall

I thought I was dying, but it
Was only a dream
I thought I'd be crying, but it
Only brought me peace
I might not be certain, but it's strongly my belief
The things that we can't let go
Are impossible
To keep

The things that we can't let go
Are impossible
To keep
The things that we can't let go
Are impossible
