lyrics

My dreams are in timeout
Normally ugly, but last night
They had me kissing you on the mouth
And that's unfounded
So now they're grounded
I know you're spoken for
But when it's time for you to do the speaking
Don't you think you deserve more?
To never feel bad, even if you do snore?

In dream, but then what's real
I long to feel
The affection you show
I ache to know

And it's this moment in time
Losing my grip and every ounce of my cool
But just so it's on your mind
You make me feel like I'm back in high school
And though I hated it there
Underslept and unapplied
There's nothing quite like breathing the air
In the company of someone so lovely

In dream, but then what's real
I long to feel
The affection you show
I ache to know

So teach me all of your tricks, please
All of your fables, notes from the Playbill
The ones that make me feel at ease
Rocking a nightgown, Victorian ghost with the most
The ones that give me the weak knees
And I won't smartmouth, I won't make a peep
'Cause when it comes to character
Yours is of the highest stock, and I'm cheap cheap cheap

In dream, but then what's real
I long to feel
The affection you show
I ache to know

And it's this moment in time
Close in a huddle, you make a puddle of me
The fan's working overtime
Don't need a blanket, you're giving the third degree
And as our eyes adjust
I see you smiling and I remember
It's never once been lust
So hold my hand
I'm only thirsty for your trust

In dream, but then what's real
I long to feel
The affection you show
I ache to know
