No one Ever Dreams Alone (Reprised)
I’m wedged perfectly between being too old to not know what love is and being too young to
That’s why I just watch as you do you.
Knowing you’ve already planned out exactly what you’re going to do.
But just because you’ve planned it doesn’t make it true.
Just like, just because I felt it doesn’t mean you did.
An adult now scolded for the honesty that I was praised for as a kid?
Water and excitement fill my eyes
The anxiety attached to your answer begin to catch me by surprise
Will she say those words?
Will she feel the same way?
Or, will she add to the rejection that motivates me each day?
I lie and say I aspire to be more than I am,
Always so focused on being in the moment that my future became a sham.
I can’t see that far, when today is what matters
Anything before or after fades into chatter.
Yet my heart remains your home,
Because No one Ever Dreams Alone.
