Before Lyrics

This morning I woke up on the floor
Thinking I have never dreamed before
And in the afternoon, the nagging thought
That I have never lived or else forgot

I tell you stories, but truth be told
I can't remember what came before
That's how I know, that's how I know
And I am brand new and not so whole
That's how I know

On paper, I'm waving with a grin
Proof of places I have never been
So I pull you forward towards this spot
That I have never seen or else forgot

I show you pictures of this very corner
But I can't remember who pushed the shutter
I have no answer, you say "no matter"
My only memory is coming home
That's how I know

This morning I woke up on the floor
Thinking I have never dreamed before

These are official lyrics:

This morning I woke up on the floor thinking I've never dreamed before
and in the afternoon, the nagging thought that I have never lived, or else forgot

I tell you stories but truth be told I can’t remember what came before that’s how I know, that’s how I know and I am brand new and also old that’s how I know

on paper
I am waving with a grin proof of places I've never been so I pull you forward towards the spot that I have never seen, or else forgot

I show you pictures of this very corner but I can’t remember who pushed the shutter I have no answer you say “no matter” my only memory is coming home that’s how I know

This morning I woke up on the floor thinking I've never dreamed before
