about

When living in Seattle, the harsh climate of city life often felt unbearable, even though it brought so much joy to our lives. Young adults often still carry the insecurities of childhood, but are now expected to take control of their lives and know exactly how to deal with the pressures of the modern world. Sometimes, we would become so disillusioned from stress and anxiety that we'd wonder if maybe we were just dreaming the whole thing.

lyrics

Summer silhouetted boulevard watching the planes soar
A few angelic rays decay from the bay to the old drugstore
I met her, hoping to leave every grief in the ocean and out of my mind
Told me her name but the waves crashed and two halves of our broken hearts were aligned.

Not looking for love, we were down in the pits
No intimate connection, just the taste of a kiss
Now the moment’s over, but I just wanna hold onto this

Maybe I could try to tell myself it’s only a dream
In a comatose state, I relate better than it would seem
She said “Maybe I could try to tell you this is only a dream
Cause I’ll fly to where you are in the stars when you’re falling asleep.”

Lonely hotel lobbies where the monsters of youth live
Pencil marks in the hearts of the victims who won’t forgive
“I know if I can’t be perfect, I’m worthless” A lie that held to be true
Her pillow soaks up the tears every year, “Can you hear me? I’m calling to you!”

She let her hair down, we graffitied the street
I remember how it tasted every time our lips would meet
And when I sleep alone, I revisit all those nights on repeat

Maybe I could try to tell myself it’s only a dream
In a comatose state, I relate better than it would seem
She said “Maybe I could try to tell you this is only a dream
Cause I’ll fly to where you are in the stars when you’re falling asleep.”

- Instrumental -

Maybe I could try to tell myself it’s only a dream
In a comatose state, I relate better than it would seem
She said “Maybe I could try to tell you this is only a dream
Cause I’ll fly to where you are in the stars no matter how far,
cause you and I are a team!”

Maybe I could try to tell myself it’s only a dream
When the world felt alive, she would drive somewhere I’d never seen
She said “Maybe I could try to tell you this is only a dream
Cause I’ll fly to where you are in the stars when you’re falling asleep.”
