Dreamer

Oh, my love, you were a constant contradiction

Your heartbeat's fantasy, a hidden picture

Last night, you told me you don't believe in the one

Yet your eyes fill with tears as you watch the setting sun

It makes me sad to think you can't see a life with me

'Cause I dreamt we'd have some land one day and plant some apple trees

Oh, I know you think I'm just a dreamer

And I know you think if I climb too high, I'll fall

Baby, when you say I'm just a dreamer

You're blowing out the candles in my heart

You're blowing out the candles in my heart

I know you don't wanna hurt me as much as I don't wanna hurt you

But, fuck, it hurts to think of one of us with somebody new

'Cause when we're intertwined like lovers

Underneath the twilight covers

Time slows for a moment and our differences subside

It's like angels are watching over us, well, there's nothing to say

As we drift out in the water under moonlight far away

Oh, I know you think I'm just a dreamer

And I know you think if I climb too high, I'll fall

When you laugh and say I'm just a dreamer

You're blowing out the candles in my heart

You're blowing out the candles in my heart

The first Christmas we were in love

You gave me a poetry book of so many years

You wrote inside that you had caught a falling star

I wondered why you felt I was falling rather than shooting

For how can someone so romantic build up so many walls?

Boy, if you just let me, I can show you how to ask for more

Oh, I know you think I'm just a dreamer

And I know you think if I reach too high, I'll fall

But, baby, when you say I'm just a dreamer

You're blowing out the candles in my heart

Oh, you're blowing out the candles in my heart

And now my eyes are full of moon, just like Joni's always were

You listen to her objectively while I imagine I am her

Oh, I know she was your first love

And you would want her all the same

If only you could see that my fire was built from her old flame

Oh, I know you think I'm just a dreamer

And I know you think if I climb too high, I'll fall

But, baby, when you say I'm just a dreamer

You're blowing out the candles in my heart

You're blowing out the candles in my heart
