Slowly and sometimes never

Come with this downtrodden vagabond
I'm sorry for acting this way
I just can't seem to learn
And I'll hold onto this
Way of life too long
I pray to see you
I long to see you

I am awake
But I am not
And I am dreaming
Dreaming of you
Holding me still
Touching my countenance
I am aware
Dreaming of you

I am foolish is need of a freshening
To wake up and taste this reality
I am aware
And I'll hold onto this
Way of life too long
I pray to see you
There's safety in numbers
And I'm all along

Open my eyes
(When were we alone?)
I am holding my breath
(When were we alone?)
Open my eyes
(When were we alone?)
I am aware
(When were we alone?)
