Maps & Atlases - War Dreams

Текст песни

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
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
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 'til these feelings came along
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
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
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 'til these feelings came along
