Live As You Dream Lyrics
Beth Orton
If theres something you wanna do,
Youll know when youve seen it through,
Yeah we live as we dream alone,
But thats not all youve ever known.
Stop look listen I can find you,
Ive been standing right beside you,
You dont have to remind me,
I know an I wont let go.
And if youve taken me for someone who cares,
Then theres a dream I know we both have shared,
If I talked to you after alls been done,
I know well find home where ever weve gone,
Youre not the only one.
But theres something I wanna show,
Though not sure that I should do,
So while we live all our dreams for free,
But thats not all they ever could be.
Stop look listen I can find you,
Ive been standing right beside you,
You dont have to remind me,
I know an I wont let go.
And as Ive taken you for someone who cares,
Then theres a dream I know we both have shared,
If you talk to me after whats been said,
Then I know theres a home where ever we live,
Youre not the only one,
Youre not the only one.
And if youve taken me for someone who cares,
Then theres a dream I hope we both can share,
If I talk to you after whats been said,
Well youll admit theres home where ever we live,
Youre not the only one,
Youre not the only one.
We live as we dream alone,
But thats not all weve shown,
We live as we dream alone,
An thats not all weve known,
We live as we dream alone,
Thats not all youve shown.
