lyrics

I can imagine how long that it took the scars
To heal from the things that I done to you
I can remember we'd sit there and look at stars
Never thought I woulda run from you
There's some things that I just can't change
I guess that's why you still live down there

We were just kids even though we could both rent cars
And we thought the world was just made for us
We'd get as drunk as we could at the local bars
And hope the world would never run away from us
Still there's some things that we couldn't change
I guess that's why you still live down there

Guess I gotta fix it in my dreams
Go in and fix it in my dreams
I have to fix it in my dreams
Cos I still see you in my dreams

I hope the years that've passed have been good to you
At least as good as they've been for me
Down there I did everything that I could for you
Lord knows you did everything that you could for me
Still there's some things that we couldn't change
I guess that's why you still live down there

Waitin on trains that's supposed to be here
You're on the ground with the track to your ear
You said that I said we'd grow old together
But darlin we did and it's been fifty years
I can wake up and go back to the world
Go back to my son go back to my girl
Where I spin a totem and know that it's real
And I don't just have to rely on the feel
Rely on a deal that I made with an architect
For a city he ain't even started yet
Sposed to meet me right here by this park bench
He ain't even done left his apartment yet
Here I sit and I wait and I spin
The totem and then I spin it again
I gotta keep checkin I don't wanna end in
A similar place as the one that I'm sendin
A message a bottle a carrier pigeon
You carried the water I'll carry the vision
We made an incision and just started diggin
Until we infected the world that we live in
It's sick now
When I put up a brick now
An invisible hand goes to rip down
Everything just gets flipped now
There ain't nothin to do but just sit down or skip town
But what happens to those that are stuck here?
When they dream it's just dreams of above here
There's no such thing as love here
And no one voluntarily chooses to come here
But for some it's a prison a home
A miniature dome they live in alone
And visitors never stay long
Cos when they wake up where they're from
They just vanish and gone

Fix it in my dreams
Go in and fix it in my dreams
I have to fix it in my dreams
Cos I still see you in my dreams
