Gala

We were wrapped

In the warmth

Of a day dream

Like a newborn

Sound asleep

Til someone pulled the sheets away

We were cool

In the shade

Of ambition

Of what could be made

By desire made us tired

And wishing never got us well

Well

And now I lie awake

Most nights

Wishing I could cut these tethers

If I could sleep

Well then I could dream

I'd dream of ways to sleep forever

I'll lie and wait

For the world to end

Never mind (never mind)

My strange hesitation (every time)

As you plot out the days

Still ahead

How I dread

Breaking your heart again

It's not you

That I can't

Quite imagine

For the first dance

It is me

I don't see

Making it to dance with you

You

Cuz now I lie awake

Most nights

Wishing I could cut these tethers

If I could sleep

Well then I could dream

I'd dream of ways to sleep forever

I'd lie and wait

For the world to end

If I could only be holy again

If I could only be whole again

If I could only begin again
