lyrics

I'm writing 'bout reality, it's something to be read
just by you... I need you to.

We've gone beyond the fantasy, it's something to be said
just by me, for you to see.

All the things we thought we knew are like papers in the wind,
taken to another space and time.

I know you've got a lot of hopes for me and you, we hit the ropes,
then tried to run on blind.

I wanted to be strong and free but something stopped me being me,
just knowing you were mine.

It aint easy... but I don't mind.

I watched the news and thought of you, then tried to keep my head
free of you, hard thing to do.

I found myself in different arms, just feathering my bed,
torn in two and missing you.

All the things we thought we knew are like papers in the wind,
taken to another space and time.

I know you've got a lot of hopes for me and you, we hit the ropes,
then tried to run on blind.

I wanted to be strong and free, but something stopped me being me,
just knowing you were mine.

It aint easy... but I don't mind.
