"Reveries" lyrics

"Reveries"

Light spills in through the window
And I watch the dust as it drifts through the sunbeams
Oh, while you stand cold in the kitchen
And all you've been wantin' collects in the space behind your eyes
But I still wonder when my teeth went
I used to fear nothing and now I just contemplate
The light spills in through the window
And you watch the clouds in the distance and know we're outta time

You don't owe me
You don't owe me a thing
I have always been lost
It's a comfortable place
I don't owe you
I don't owe you a thing
You were always just
Something that I could never save

Time stops and all my old nightmares
Are standing before me, I wonder how they ever did their jobs
And I lay on the carpet
And sift through my reveries, try on the ones that still bite
Sometimes I wonder where you are now
And if you ever found some happiness or just another way to kill the time?
But I knew when this started that
I was never permanent, was just another stop along the line

You don't owe me
You don't owe me a thing
I have always been lost
It's a comfortable place
I don't owe you
I don't owe you a thing
You were always just
Something that I could never save

Ben Cooper explained "Reveries" in the description of its music video on YouTube as such, "It's about people that don't quite fit together anymore, but there's no anger or resentment in it. It's a drifting apart, not a breakup."
