Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I know I'm dreaming
But it feels too good to stop
The picture in my head is always moving
We're alone at sunset
There's snowfall in air
It's only special once 'cause there's an ending
[Pre-Chorus]
And we realize we're in a future memory
[Chorus]
I can only use what I learn from you
And the rest I quietly accept and burn through
I can only be so much potentially
From the rest, I patiently request delivery
[Verse 2]
Don't worry where we end up
This ending up's not real
The life we build we never stop creating
So we move to a cliffside
A shoreline nowhere
A freezing drive ahead with every crossing
[Pre-Chorus]
And the things you hope someday will come keep waiting
[Chorus] I can only use what I learn from you And the rest I quietly accept and burn through I can only be so much potentially From the rest, I patiently request delivery [Bridge]
Sold on a lie A lie old as time You'll search until you die Only partially the truth Someone's out there for you But not everyone's ready to be found No, you might not be ready to be found [Chorus]
I can only use what I learned from you And the rest I quietly accept and burn through I can only be so much potentially From the rest, I patiently request delivery I can only use what I learn from you And the rest I quietly accept and burn through I can only be so much potentially From the rest, I patiently request delivery
