"Dreaming Out Loud" lyrics

I've been sending all my dreams to the clouds
Now they're getting heavy
I'm gonna keep dreaming out loud
'Til they fill up to the levee

So many things that I wanna say
But you're not here to let me
So I say it to the clouds all day
And prepare for my journey

I've been sending up messages
So they could rain down
I could touch you again

I can't believe that I still have hands
God damn, I'm lucky
So I'm gonna keep putting my pen to the pad
And not worry about the money

I'm on a journey to the center of me
And sometimes it gets scary
Thorn bushes as far as I can see
But at least they're blackberries

I've been sending up messages
So they could rain down
I could touch you again

You were the heat in my shower
I somehow ignored
As the water ran cold
I realized that you were gone

I've been sending all my dreams to the clouds
Now they're getting heavy
I'm gonna keep dreaming out loud
'Til they fill up to the levee
