sleeping in the storm

Mention me
in your sleep
and I'll dream
you're awake

Me and her driving home from Meredith into
the outside of a storm

How do I manage questions for He who throws
one hundred million raindrops from the sky

Piles of thoughts inside my hands this morning

I can convince myself that loneliness is freedom
And I can convince myself that there's happiness in silence

And I can convince myself that nothing is forever and
this all is for the better but I can't fall asleep tonight

Mention me
in your sleep
and I'll dream
you're awake
