Undream

Lyrics:

You keep making little comments here and there, within, without
You have no idea that you're destroying me from the inside out
You awaken all my inner demons, a whole host transcending time
They were safely locked away until your words opened up my mind

And now I've had dreams about you
That I can't undream

Chorus:
You had your fingers in my hair and
I was all tangled in your arms
There has been no other time it has ever felt so real
When I wake I wonder why it was you
It's gotta be 'cause of what you said
And if it's all a dream anyway
Anyway, I was hoping I could keep it in my head

I can barely look you in the face now
It's awkward 'cause you don't know
The last time I saw those eyes
You were closer to me than my pillow

You innocently ask if I am alright
I say I'm fine and just turn away
'cause I would rather be silent than to
have to finally admit and say

That I've had dreams about you
Yeah
That I wish I could unsee

*Chorus*

Later you come alone to find me
Knowing something's wrong, you ask what's up
I guess I can no longer hide this
What I've been dreaming of

With crimson creeping into my face
I try to explain, but less is more
You try comfort me by saying
That you've been there before

You mean you've had dreams about me too?
Please, don't tell me that you

You had your fingers in my hair and
I was all tangled in your arms
There has been no other time it has ever felt so real
When I wake I wonder why it was you
It's gotta be 'cause of what you said
And if it's all a dream anyway
Anyway, I was hoping I could keep it in my head

And undreeeeeeeeeeeeeam thaaaaaaaaaaat
You had me tangled in your arms there
Anyway, anyway
I was hoping I could keep it in my head

A few notes:

I wrote the majority of this song last summer and had been going back and forth for like 6 months on whether it was "appropriate" or not. Whatever that means.

I actually really like the line "you awaken all my inner demons, a whole host transcending time".
Just so we're clear, it doesn't mean I'm possessed by demons.
It's a figure of speech where some unsavory thoughts (inner demons), a lot of them (a whole host), are haunting not just in real time consciousness but also when asleep (transcending time).
Just thought I should unpack that one before anyone stumbles over that hole.

So yeah, it's just an embarrassing pop song.
Jam to it.

You were closer to me than my pillow
