For Dreaming

here come the good times
I've had some good times you know
bring on the good times
I've had some good times you know

all we knew was happiness
all we knew and all we witnessed
it’s only there for dreaming
it’s only there for dreaming

I won’t sentimentalize
the bonus loss of appetite
and skinniness that followed
the new taste of open lips
the last hope in trembling hips
and you swallow

for dreaming, for dreaming
I still can touch the ceiling
with the feeling that we swallowed
for dreaming, for dreaming
I still can touch the screaming heights
I’m pleading, can I follow you home

bring on the good times
bring on the good times once more
'cause we love the good times

on the other side of your green door
it’s only there for dreaming
for dreaming, for dreaming
I knew you’d find your way home
but you know I loved you

for dreaming, for dreaming
for dreaming, for dreaming
I still can touch the ceiling
with the feeling that we swallowed
for dreaming, for dreaming
I still can touch the screaming heights
I’m pleading, can I follow you home
