Yellow In My Dreams

You swept me off my feet

And as I lay on my back

You pull at my heart

Making you even harder to resist

Bottled up my fantasies

Tossed them in the ocean

Hoping one day it will wash up on shore

And be opened by you

Drew a line between love and suicide

Crossed that line when I met you

I’m awakened by the thought of you

Empty jars of sleeping pills cover my floor

Yellow in my dreams

Beauty seen in your reflection

So long I waited for even half a look

Took it too far when it became a stare

I think about the day

The days before I met you

When it seemed impossible

Seems to have no troubles at all

Should you refuse me

Do you think I would force you?

No I would remain confused in love

And still long after you

Sometimes in loneliness

Your eyes come back

How lonely do I have to be

To have all of you

Yesterday I loved

Today I suffer

Tomorrow I die

Today and tomorrow I think of yesterday
