Lyrics
[Verse 1]: Poured myself a warm glass, And laid awake. I prayed the lord my soul to take. I thought about you all day, How we have the same face. I fell asleep so confused, Parts of me remind me of you. How could I ever wish away?

[Chorus]: Only ever in dreams I wrap my arms around you. And standing in the water with me, I can tell you what I wanna tell you. And I hope it's not just a bad dream, Hope it's not just a sad dream.

[Verse 2]: I wake up and I hear my phone ring, I hear your call and I let my phone ring. When I got into my car and drove away, I listened to the stereo play.

[Verse 3]: I live by my own laws, I stick to my guns and hold my head up, To midnight sun. Hoping you were tender in fate, The fire baptism engulfed in my shame.

[Chorus]: Only ever in dreams I wrap my arms around you. And standing in the water with me, I can tell you what I wanna tell you. And I hope it's not just a bad dream, Hope it's not just a sad dream.

[Chorus]: Only ever in dreams I wrap my arms around you. And standing in the water with me, I can tell you what I wanna tell you. And I hope it's not just a bad dream, Hope it's not just a sad dream.
