you were at my door
i heard you knocking but i didn't care at all
i had been in all night just staring at the wall
i didn't really want to see you anymore
coming from the road
you took your coat off and you threw it on the floor
you said "i can't believe you wanna hurt me so"
i said "i'm not supposed to be like this, you know"
well, i just had to let you go
what's on your mind?
when you're lost in time
what's on your mind?
tell me why
why does it have to be this way?
you were in that dream that i was dreaming
i was dreaming in a dream
your nylon dress and i was floating back downstream
i wanted love to come and swallow everything
everything gets real
sooner or later, doesn't matter how you feel
you slammed that door shut on the night of glass and steel
i cannot blame you for believing what you believe
well, i just had to let you go
what's on your mind?
when you're lost in time
what's on your mind?
tell me why
why does it have to be this way?
why do you always stay
miles away
and two steps behind
where the past is still living
beautiful and forgiven
do you not see
that you live in a dream
hey
