War Dreams

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'd like to be
Of use in the face of someone else's war
You can make a nothing out of me
And someone else could be celebrated, celebrated even more

[Pre-Chorus]
Regardless of what I'm supposed to try preserving
I could watch it fall into, fall into the past
I could catch the medal for someone more deserving
I could watch it fall apart, fall apart at last

[Chorus]
But lately, in my dreams
I've been spelling my name all wrong
Don't have a grip on what it means
But it's been happening till these feelings came along

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'd like to be
A minute character in someone else's dream
Just an extra, a passing shadow
In the background of the celebrating winning team

[Pre-Chorus]
Regardless of what I'm supposed to try preserving
I could watch it fall into, fall into the past
I could catch the medal for someone more deserving
I could watch it fall apart, fall apart at last

[Chorus]
But lately, in my dreams
I've been spelling my name all wrong
Don't have a grip on what it means
But it's been happening till these feelings came along
