In the dream you were
someone different
you and everyone else all at once
you were beautiful
you were beautiful
in the dream you were
just like you are

you loved everyone
like a sovereign
half magnanimous, half unimpressed
and I was talking too much
I was trying too hard
in the dream it was
just like it is

and then everything was so simple
things are how they always will be
you are the answer to the question that is me
in the dream is was just like it is

we were captive in
in a prison
where everyone was guilty by mistake
and it was infinite
it was infinite
in the dream it was
just like it is

and I, I asked if love could free us
you said ""no, probably not
but everybody needs to get through the night
and love is all we got.""

in the dream it was
just like it is
in the dream it was
just like it is

in the dream you were
someone different
you and everyone else all at once
you were beautiful
you were beautiful
in the dream it was
just like it is
