If I Lie Down

I love a morning when the world and I cross into it from opposite sides

Our houses line up in a row

Lights catching from window to window

Don't rub every dream out of your eyes

I'm trying to scratch the night in mine

I hold this vision of you high

I hold it as the first wave of traffic goes by

From the first ignition firing life is hanging on my eyelids

The turning world pulls me to the ground

But will I lose you, if I lie down?

Will I lose you if I lie down?

Will I see you, the same time, same way tomorrow, will I?

I've changed from only yesterday

I'm returning from a time away

What's different could be only chemical,

something overdue that starts to overflow

What's left when your dreams they dart away?

Loose energy and borderless days

I hold a vision of you high

I hold you as the flames rise in the sky

From the first ignition firing life is hanging on my eyelids

And the spinning world pulls me to the ground

Will I lose it, if I lie down?

Will I lose it, if I lie down?

Will I see you, the same time, same way tomorrow, will I?
