A Dream Too Far

you're not a fad, you're not a collection
you're not a gift, you're a common correction
you are the sear on my chest, fixing mistakes I've made up to now
you're not a dream too far to catch up with

I find it impossible to hold you all night long
when I wake up you are always gone
but you never forget to leave a note on my chest
to make sure I know, you had to go home

you're not the tear in the corner of my eye,
you're not the pain in my heart,
you're the part of my life that keeps me alive,
for your taboo, I am simply a man hoping to keep you around forever

so if this is what you would call lust, then love is a challenge
but we know that love is something different and it is what we have
you were always gone when I woke up, which is when I would sleep to see you again
but that was just a dream too far, keeping me back and holding me down, keeping me away

you changed my game, fixed my path, corrected my lenses, you found the gap in my heart
you built a bridge for you to become a permanent resident, to hide out and make sure you are the
last one
I'm not done dreaming, you are more to me than they all know
