When You Sleep

[Verse 1]
Stand in a crowd, screaming, anybody out there
I feel so alone, you look around for something
That medicates the pain, but refuse to come back home
You let it swallow you up, it's never enough
You're looking around for the cure, the revelation's the same
The pleasure and pain won't get you back to where you were

[Chorus]
You forgot your first love
When you sleep, are you dreaming of me
When you hear, is it words that I speak
When you love, is it my heart that beats
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
When you look, is it me that you see
When you fall, is it my hands that bleed
When you hurt, don't you wanna be free
I'm waiting, I'm waiting

[Verse 2]
You have a choice, it's easy, I won't make it for you
But how could you resist, stay in the mud
Depraved, keep walking by yourself
Or return to what you've missed
I don't care how far you're lost, I'll cover the cost
Just give me back your prodigal heart
With no conditions defined, forever
'Cause I just want you back inside my arms

[Chorus]
You forgot your first love
When you sleep, are you dreaming of me
When you hear, is it words that I speak
When you love, is it my heart that beats
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
When you look, is it me that you see
When you fall, is it my hands that bleed
When you hurt, don't you wanna be free
I'm waiting, I'm waiting

[Verse 3]
I've been watching all the roadways home
Anticipating that you'll come alone
Seeing your face will be like breaking dawn
And you know I'll be running out to meet you
And everything will fall away
The earth and stars will celebrate
But for now all I can do is wait
You're so close but still so far away

[Chorus]
'Cause you forgot your first love
When you sleep, are you dreaming of me
When you hear, is it words that I speak
When you love, is it my heart that beats
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
When you look, is it me that you see
When you fall, is it my hands that bleed
When you hurt, don't you wanna be free
I'm waiting, I'm waiting
