My Wildest Dreams (Lullaby Version)

I find that now I'm always listening

God knows I used to talk so much

The ocean doesn't need the sailor

The sky was there before the doves

I spoke in riddles and in rhymes

But my time with you has taught me to simplify

You're not quite what I pictured you would be

You're better than my wildest dreams

I won't leave you when you're sleeping

I will be here when you awake

I've got ghosts and I've got demons

But they will not chase me away

I've been waiting all my life

For some reason that I never could describe

You're not quite what I pictured you would be

You're better than my wildest dreams

I'm not sure what I could give you

Whatever's mine is yours to take

I have never been a teacher

But let's both learn from my mistakes

'Cause it has taken me so long

To surrender what I hoped no one could see

You're not quite what I pictured you would be

You're better than my wildest dreams

You're not quite what I pictured you would be

You're better than my wildest dreams
