I'm wide awake in your dream
You're cool convincing me
It's not a cross eyed fantasy, and every night you're feeding me
This close proximity
To everything that I need
Against my sensibility
I believe you
I’ll go all the way
I'll go all the way if you make me feel safe
Don't take me all the way just to fill an empty space
You only say sweet things cause you like the way they taste
It's 3am and you call from the garden
To say all you wanted
But don't see the consequence
You’re being reckless and I'm being honest
But when you’re desperate is no time for promises
It's common sense
I'm wide awake as you speak
Some drunk soliloquy
Is it a gift to notice everything
As you're recklessly lifting me?
Just to drop me
To a rock hard reality
Against my sensibilities
I believe you
It's 3am and you call from the garden
To say all you wanted
But don't see the consequence
You’re being reckless and I'm being honest
But when you’re desperate is no time for promises
It's common sense...
Promises...
I’ll go all the way
I'll go all the way if you make me feel safe
Don't take me all the way just to fill an empty space
You only say sweet things cause you like the way they taste
It's 3am and you call from the garden
To say all you wanted
But don't see the consequence
You’re being reckless and I'm being honest
But when you’re desperate is no time for promises
I'm wide awake in your dream
You're cool convincing me
(It’s common sense)
It's not a cross eyed fantasy, and every night you're feeding me
This close proximity
To everything that I need
Against my sensibilities
I believed you

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
