Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd
Go up to a bank teller with a mask on asking for money
Isn't it weird just how the world works
Sometimes I'd like to know why
Do I exist, do I matter
And whats the meaning of life
It is weird when I close my eyes
In my dreams our loved ones don't die
I am paralyzed when I close my eyes
Cause you're staring at me And you didnt die
Then I wake up
Then I wake up
Never did I ever forget the time we built a train
The world took you and all you meant
And only memories remain
The few I have still mean the most
But i have to close my eyes
To see you and all of your ghost
I wish that you were alive
It is weird when I close my eyes
In my dreams our loved ones don't die
I am paralyzed when I close my eyes
Cause you're staring at me And you didnt die
It is weird when I close my eyes
In my dreams our loved ones don't die
I am paralyzed when I close my eyes
Cause you're staring at me And you didnt die
Then I wake up
Then I wake up
Then I wake up
Then I wake up

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
