From the band’s Bandcamp page:
Cameron: While I was in high school I was with a girl that had suicidal thoughts. This song centers around my struggle to help her realize there was more to life and that she had so much to live for. The hardest part was at this point in my life I was struggling with...
[Verse 1: Cameron]
I watched the sun set in your eyes for the last time
I thought you died that night
You called me to tell me you wouldn't survive
I heard the wind blowing through your hair
[Verse 2: Cameron and Becca]
I would've given anything to be there
I could have sworn that I was
It's not that I want to die
I just want to disappear
[Verse 3: Raphael]
Do you think that I still dream of you?
Or long for the warmth that your body would provide?
Winter has never felt like it lasted for so long
But I've grown used to the cold
And I know that you see there's no warmth where you are
[Verse 4: Raphael, Becca]
So I embrace the parts of myself that I long to change
Is this the face that you were waiting to see?
I embrace the parts that I hate because they remind me of when we were nearly the same
Find me where eyes are afraid to meet, where held hands can cripple fingers
That's how strong our love could be, but I'm still so scared
[Verse 5: Cameron]
I am so scared by the things I cannot see
Like the simple idea
I don't keep you up at night
With a smile tickling of your mouth
Share my collapse
There's enough weight here to bury us both
[Bridge: Cameron, Becca, Raphael]
It's just another dream, it's just another dream
It's just another dream, it's just another dream
[Outro: All]
It's just another dream
