lyrics

I used to sing
i used to dream
i used to be everything
i used to love to be outside
i fell inside of your mirror
everything was backward i felt weird
i didnt know up from down
so i walked away
it was hard to stay
so i flew into outer space
a galaxy i have yet to disgrace
well i grabbed your hand
and you grabbed mine
it was sort of like the very first time
when we were in the theater
we went down the hill we didnt stop
you cried out but i wouldnt drop
we had to get away from the bomb
the mountains trees
the ground the leaves
the sand and sea
everything we were leaving
the car was mad when we got in
before we swim burn your skin
i cant take this world right now
the music lived through my ears
all these years of lawn mowing careers
the world was colors poured out my eyes
blurring by so instantly
i'll explain this immediately
just wait a minute or two
cause our dreams never come true
dreams dont exist
you wake up and thats it
they dont mean shit
the water took over my life
i fell deep inside
hiding from that snake out there
but we were drowning all along
i felt that way when i took you home
i never wanted you to leave
so "come back" to me i'd sing
you sang back to me
"have a safe drive, dont eat your mind"
i am the ghost of a complete stranger
