lyrics

The sun’s getting brighter
And melting away
The ice on my window
That led me astray

The day's getting longer
With amber embrace
And the weight on my shoulders
Is drifting away

Is this real life
Or only a dream?
Is this what it feels like
To be so esteemed?

But what’s the difference
Could you tell me the truth?
If things are different
Why do I dream of you?
