[Verse]
I stood at the top of the ruins
I threw rocks into the distance
Houses curled around the dark between
And there's a light on back in town
There's a phone a few miles down
And I can see it all

[Chorus]
Oh, and in dreams
I see it as it used to be (it used to be)
Valleys stretching farther than
The firelight can reach (the light can reach)
Oh, and in dreams
I see it as it used to be (it used to be)
Mountains rising taller than
The water it's all
Dazzling beneath

[Bridge]
The many hills and halls
And meteors that
Leave us where we
Stand alone, these
Pillars fall, these
Frantic colors that I see
[Chorus]
In dreams
I see it as it used to be (it used to be)
In dreams
I see it as it used to be (it used to be)
A crater swallowed by an ancient sea (it used to be)
A house is witness to so many things

[Outro]
I stood at the top of the ruins
I threw rocks into the distance
