My Wildest Dreams

[Verse 1]
I find that now I’m always listening
God knows I used to talk so much
The ocean doesn’t need the sailor
The sky was there before the doves
I spoke in riddles and in rhymes
But my time with you has taught me to simplify

[Chorus]
You’re not quite what I pictured you would be
You’re better than my wildest dreams

[Verse 2]
I won’t leave you when you’re sleeping
I will be here when you awake
I’ve got ghosts and I’ve got demons
But they will not chase me away
I’ve been waiting all my life
For some reason that I never could describe

[Chorus]
You’re not quite what I pictured you would be
You’re better than my wildest dreams

[Verse 3]
I’m not sure what I could give you
Whatever’s mine is yours to take
I have never been a teacher
But let’s both learn from my mistakes
‘cause it has taken me so long
To surrender what I hoped no one could see

[Chorus]
You’re not quite what I pictured you would be
You’re better than my wildest dreams
