When we're coming home at 4 in the morning Before the sun was up Back when the east was a fire of gold Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love Hey, hey Our hope is just a metaphor of something better for all of our dreams tonight And fear is just a shadow of the things that matter the most And I fear that I'm losing hope tonight Oh, I feel like I'm dreaming Oh, Staring up at the ceiling Oh, It's 4 in the morning I can't sleep, man it feels like a warning Oh, yeah would you believe me If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh, the words that I wanted to say I feel 'em slipping away Remember that kid with a quivering lip Whose heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit Where are you now? Where are you now? Remember that kid, didn't know when to quit I'd still lose my breath when I think about it Oh where'd ya go? Oh where'd ya go? Oh, I feel like I'm dreaming Oh, Staring up at the ceiling Oh, It's 4 in the morning I can't sleep, man it feels like a warning Oh, yeah would you believe me If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh, the words that I wanted to say (I feel 'em slipping away) I feel 'em slipping away I know this isn't what you had wanted Past words in the present are haunting us now And on, and on, and on, and on My heartbeat could tell you it's urgent I try to shout but the words don't come out Oh, I feel like I'm dreaming Oh, Staring up at the ceiling Oh, It's 4 in the morning I can't sleep, man it feels like a warning Oh, yeah would you believe me If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling Oh, the words that I wanted to say (I feel 'em slipping away) I feel 'em slipping away I feel 'em slipping away I feel 'em slipping away
