My Slumbering Heart — текст песни (Rilo Kiley)

In my dreams
I see myself hitting a baseball
In a green field somewhere near a freeway
I`m all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base
And it`s hot and
The kids keep on playing the driving game
And they`re singing the same goddamn refrain
And the sky is a blueish grey.
And its become just like a chemical stress
Tracing the lines in my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
I`ve barely been gone.

In my dreams
I see you at the foot of some mountains.
And we`re taking some pictures or something
And we`d better hurry up
And it`s late and
The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees
And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans
And we`d better hurry up
And I`ve become just like a terrible mess
searching the lines in my face for
something more beautiful than is there
the crowds keep me coming back. Cheering.

In my dreams
I see you asleep on a twin bed
The covers pulled up over your head
Am I asleep or awake?
And it`s morning
And the captain is playing the radio
And hes just put the paint on his new boat
Am I asleep or awake?

And it just feels good when you`re waking up
And it just feels good when you`re next to me
And it just feels good when you`re coming home
And it just feels good when you`re waking up

And I`ve become just like a chemical stress
Tracing the lines of my face for
Something more beautiful than is there
I`ve barely been gone
and I`m not a failure
I swear
I wish you could see it from over there
I`ve got a lot over here without you
I`ve barely been gone
gone
dreaming
