[Verse 1]
Here we are, laughing at the sea
Baby, you and me
Kissing like lovers long deprived of human touch
Whispering with two tongues
Afraid of saying too much
Why would I let you go?

[Verse 2]
Here we are, burning down the sun
Prisoners on the run
Drowning our sorrows in another desperate embrace
Pushing back anything that might get in our way
Why would I let you go?

[Chorus]
And in my dreams I have the strength
To not keep love at an arm's length
And in my dreams I see myself the way you do
And in my dreams I understand
The value of the love at hand
And in my dreams I love you like I used to

[Verse 3]
Here we are, stranded on a cloud
The ocean's getting loud
Aching for something to prolong this credulous view
Asking the sunset for more crimson, violet, and blue
Why would I let you go?

[Chorus]
And in my dreams I have the strength
To not keep love at an arm's length
And in my dreams I see myself the way you do
And in my dreams I understand
The value of the love at hand
And in my dreams I love you like I used to
Why would I let your love run out on me

[Outro]
Here we are, lit up by the moon
Babe, I spoke too soon
Taking for granted all the love I cared to devour
Spurning a heart so pure 'cause I can't muster the power
How could I let you go?
