In my dreams 
I see myself hitting a baseball 
In a areen field somewhere near a freeway 
I'm all tan and smiling and running from 3rd base 
And it's hot and 
The kids keep playing the driving game 
And they're singing the same goddamn refrain 
And the sky is a blueish grey. 
And its become just like a chemical strice 
Tracing the lines in my face for 
Something more beautiful than is there 
I've barely been gone. 

In my dreams 
I see you at the foot of some mountains. 
And we're taking some pictures or something 
And we'd better hurry up 
And it's late and 
The sun keeps on shooting through pine trees 
And the grass stains are wet on your new jeans 
And we'd better hurry up 
And I've become just like a terrible mess 
searching the lines in my face for 
something more beautiful than is there 
the crowds keep me coming back. Cheering. 

In my dreams 
I see you asleep on a twin bed 
The covers pulled up over your head 
And I asleep or awake? 
And it's morning 
And the captain is playing the radio 
And hes just put the paint on his new boat 
Am I asleep or awake? 

And it just feels good when you're waking up 
And it just feels good when you're next to me 
And it just feels good when you're coming home 
And it just feels good when you're waking up 

And I've become just like a chemical strice 
Tracing the lines of my face for 
Something more beautiful than is there 
I've barely been gone 
and I'm not a failure 
I swear 
I wish you could see it from over there 
I've got a lot over here without you 
I've barely been gone 
gone
