The story

sometimes optics keep you from pursuing what you might be feeling...to have someone like you just as much, no matter the optics.... realizing the gift of love is sometimes packaged differently than what you expected.

the gift

Betcha can't wait to fall asleep
And dream of me
I tell myself that sometimes
But don't believe
You ever see me
Beyond the package
Your dream come true
When you close your eyes
A gift in disguise

Trying to remember the reasons
Why we can't be together
All superficial
All lies
All the things to say
But too scared
To realize
It's more than just
Butterflies

My dream scenario
Is you waking up with me
I know every detail
My heart lifts
Deep breath
Exhale
This precious gift
Just want to know
What happens next

Trying to remember the reasons
Why we can't be together
All superficial
All lies
All the things to say
But too scared
To realize
It's more than just
Butterflies

My dream scenario
Is you waking up with me
I know every detail
My heart lifts
Deep breath
Exhale
This precious gift
Just want to know
What happens next

Always see me running away
To see if you will follow
Wondering if you will
Stop being a desperado
Don't let this dream go
Wake up and be alive

I tell myself sometimes
Betcha can't wait to fall asleep
And dream of me

I tell myself sometimes
Betcha can't wait to fall asleep
And dream of me, of me

Wondering if you will follow
Happy to be alive
I tell myself sometimes
Betcha can't wait to fall asleep
And dream of me
