Alice Kristiansen
Lucid Dreaming
[Verse 1]
I said you could call me when you're feeling low
But I didn't mean I'd meet you
At a depth that only you can go
Are you tired? Are you sleeping?
Cause I woke up with your ghosts again
I was open, you were homeless
And I can't help but let you in

[Chorus]
And when I sleep
I dream you're yelling at me in a parking lot
And I'm trying to calm you down
But you just wouldn't stop
Spilling all the ugly thoughts
I thought I kept under lock and key
And you're just standing there
Shouting them at me

[Post-Chorus]
You didn't mean it
You never do
But now, in my dreams
I keep hearing you

[Verse 2]
Built a wall in the garden
Cause your skeletons kept getting in
Now it's raining, and they're shivering
And I'm drowning in the guilt again
I wish I knew how to send them on their way instead
But I cleared out the closet and made the bed

[Chorus]
And when I sleep
I dream you're yelling at me in a parking lot
And I'm trying to calm you down
But you just wouldn't stop
Spilling all the ugly thoughts
I thought I kept under lock and key
And you're just standing there
Shouting them at me

[Post-Chorus]
You didn't mean it
You never do
But now, in my dreams
I keep hearing you
[Bridge]
Hurt people, hurt people
How long till I hurt too?
Hurt people, hurt people
But how long till I hurt you?

[Outro]
So I won't turn my phone off
And I won't close the door
Guess I'd be there if it killed me
So you don't hurt anymore
