The Gaslight Anthem

A Lifetime of Preludes

歌詞

They don't know where I was
They don't know, and they can't say whether I should've given up
And they can't feel and they don't see
Only I can know how thin the walls have grown inside of me
In the dark, on my own

But in my dreams I was in your arms
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime

I don't mind what they say
'Cause they all pretend to care 'til it's inconvenient to stay
And of course, we just smile more
If I could help myself, I wouldn't be here stretched out on the floor
And the day gets so long

But in my dreams I was in your arms
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime

I remember holding hands on the bank of the reservoir
And it saddens me to see how far that is from where we are
And I'm sorry that I let it end and that it got to me
I just miss the way I see you when I sleep

'Cause in my dreams I was in your arms
And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I loved you for dear life

In my dreams I was in your arms
And the lives we live, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime
