lyrics

At night, I can’t hold your hand
That’s life I can’t understand
That’s right dreams are meant to die
And that’s why I don’t close my eyes

Remember days where I couldn’t forget you
Remember sayin’ that I couldn’t let you down again
Bring it around again
I tried to hear what you said to me tried to cross my heart that I won’t leave
But I’m feelin’ down again

At night, I can’t hold your hand
That’s life I can’t understand
That’s right dreams are meant to die
And that’s why I don’t close my eyes

I always think, think of you somehow
Trying to keep my head in the here and now
And go around again
You tell me tales of summers gone
And in my heart it just seems wrong
To drag you around again

At night, I can’t hold your hand
That’s life I can’t understand
That’s right dreams are meant to die
And that’s why I don’t close my eyes

Can’t let myself be untrue
Told my head and heart that I loved you
Can’t go around again
Now all the shit and the just one times
Are memories of days that passed us by
When I went around again

At night, I can’t hold your hand
That’s life I can’t understand
That’s right dreams are meant to die
And that’s why I don’t close my eyes

At night, I can’t hold your hand
That’s life I can’t understand
That’s right dreams are meant to die
And that’s why I don’t close my eyes
