My Slumbering Heart

Artists : Rilo Kiley : My Slumbering Heart

in my dreams, i see myself hitting a baseball in a green field somewhere near a freeway. i'm all tan and smiling running from third base. it's hot and the kids keep on playing the driving game and they're singing the same goddamn refrain, and the sky is a bluish gray. it's become just like a chemical stress, tracing the lines in my face for something more beautiful than is there. i've barely been gone. in my dreams i see you at the foot of some mountains and we're taking some pictures or something, and we'd better hurry up. it's late and the sun keeps on shooting through pine trees and the grass stains are wet on your new jeans, and we'd better hurry up. i've become just like a terrible mess. searching the lines in my face for something more beautiful than is there, but the crowds keep me coming back cheering. in my dreams i see you asleep on a twin bed, and covers pulled up over your head. am i asleep or awake it's morning and the captain is playing the radio, and he's just put the paint on his new boat. am i asleep or awake it just feels good when we're waking up. it just feels good when you're next to me. it just feels good when you're coming home it just feels good when it's waking up. my slumbering heart. it's become just like a chemical stress, tracing the lines in my face for something more beautiful than is there. i've barely been gone. i'm not a failure i swear, i wish you could see it from over there. i've got a lot over here without you. i've barely been gone, dreaming.
