It's funny how nighttime
Can twist up reality unseen
It's funny how lifelike
Darkness can feel in a dream
It’s funny how the empty
Can feed you your coldest of fears
And then when the light comes
You’re no further from tears
And when I come to
I’m no closer to the truth
I can’t touch or feel or even
Speak to you
And it’s been said
I know it’s all in my head
But I can’t shake the idea
Or the inkling, or the feeling
That sometimes, nightmares come true…
‘Cause missing you
Doesn’t translate to seeing you
Doesn’t translate to holding you, touching you
Feel your heartbeat against my skin
I’m speaking in zeroes and ones
But the world is just shoutin’ back in tongues
And I’m trying to hide it, just keep it inside
But it’s holding on for dear life
Cross my heart, hope to die
Hear your voice just one more time
Tryin’ to fight the night
But my fears keep it alive
It’s funny how the darkness
Seeps into the cracks in the truth
So I can try and I try to wash it away
But in the end, it’s no use
And I know this will all be over soon
This will all go away when I can just speak to you
But this ache in my chest won’t let me rest
Because, through all that is broken
The one thing that I know is
That sometimes, nightmares come true…
And missing you
Doesn’t translate to seeing you
Doesn’t translate to holding you, touching you
Feel your heartbeat against my skin
I’m speaking in zeroes and ones
But the world is just shoutin’ back in tongues
And I’m trying to hide it, just keep it inside
I'm holding on for dear life
Cross my heart, hope to die
Hear your voice just one more time
Tryin’ to fight the night
But my fears keep it alive
But what can I do except wait for the truth?
And what can I say except “I hope you’re okay”?
And I know this is all in my mind
Gets twisted up all the time
Pounding with the voices I have left behind
But this hand clutching against my heart
Makes me wanna start and scream
And wake from this dream
That’s followed me into reality
‘Cause missing you
Doesn’t translate to seeing you
Doesn’t translate to holding you, touching you
Feel your heartbeat against my skin
I’m speaking in zeroes and ones
But the world is just shoutin’ back in tongues
I’m trying to hide it, just keep it inside
Just need to know you’re alive
‘Cause missing you
Doesn’t translate to seeing you
Doesn’t translate to holding you, touching you
Feel your heartbeat against my skin
I’m speaking in zeroes and ones
But the world is just shoutin’ back in tongues
And I’m trying to hide it, just keep it inside
But it’s holding on for dear life
Cross my heart, hope to die
Hear your voice just one more time
Tryin’ to fight the night
But my fears keep it alive
Yeah, cross my heart, hope to die
Hear your voice just one more time
Tryin’ to fight the night
But my fears keep it alive
It’s funny how nighttime
Can twist up reality unseen
It’s funny how lifelike
Darkness can feel in a dream…
