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 and 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 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 in a twin bed,
The 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.
