Remember coming home at four in the morning

Before the sun was up

Back when the east was a fire of gold

Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love

Our hope is just a metaphor, of something better

For all of our dreams tonight

And fear is just a shadow of the things that matter the most

And I fear that I'm losing hope tonight

Oh oh

I feel like I'm dreaming

Oh oh

Staring up at the ceiling

Oh oh

It's four in the morning

I can't sleep and it feels like a warning

Oh oh

You wouldn't believe me

If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling

Oh oh

The words that I wanted to say

I feel them slipping away

Remember that kid with the quivering lip

Whose heart was on his sleeve like a first aid kit

Where are you now? Where are you now?

Remember that kid, didn't know when to quit

I still lose my breath when I think about it

Oh, where'd you go?

Oh oh

I feel like I'm dreaming

Oh oh

Staring up at the ceiling

Oh oh

It's four in the morning

I can't sleep and it feels like a warning

Oh oh

You wouldn't believe me

If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling

Oh oh

The words that I wanted to say

I feel them slipping away

I know this isn't what you wanted

Past words in the present are haunting us now

And on and on and on and on

My heartbeat could tell you it's urgent

I try to shout but the words don't come out

I feel I'm slipping away

Oh oh

I feel like I'm dreaming

Oh oh

Staring up at the ceiling

Oh oh

It's four in the morning

I can't sleep and it feels like a warning

Oh oh

You wouldn't believe me

If I could say it just the way that I'm feeling

Oh oh

The words that I wanted to say

I feel them slipping away
