The Dreamer and the Dream

(In coming to, I come to find that)
I've been living the life of a character in a dream
And I care about my character, but I know that he's not me
And as I look around at all the people living out their reverie,
I see

Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everyone is wondering (what it all means)

I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
There's no thinker thinking anything
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, and you are dreaming me
Yeah, you are dreaming me

And we are dreaming the lines of the actors' on a stage
And we're taken by the actors, but they have nothing new to say
And when it all has long been said and done,
Then what's it matter anyway?
(Who can say?)

Everything must come only to go
Nothing's really real anymore
Everything's an echo (ringing through my head)

I'm the dreamer, and I am the dream
I live my own life behind the scenes
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
I am dreaming you, you're dreaming me
You're dreaming me
You're dreaming me
You're dreaming me

But we all live in the dreams of the characters in our play
And you're playing every role
As they play me for the fool
But I don't wanna play anymore
I just wanna wake up (in my bed)

Everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everything that's happening

Is all going on in one sleepyhead
That went to bed, to try to forget
That a little earlier the sun had set
A little earlier the sun had set

Yeah, it's all going on in one sleepyhead
That went to bed, to try to forget
That a little earlier the sun had set
A little earlier the sun had set

'Cause it's all going on in one sleepyhead
That went to bed, to try to forget
That a little earlier the sun had set
Yeah, a little earlier the sun had set

It's all going on in one sleepyhead
That went to bed, to try to forget
That everything is happening within
Nothing's really happening without
Everything's an echo (ringing through my head)
It's ringing through my head
Through my head
It's ringing through my head
Yeah, through my head
It's ringing through my head
It's ringing through my head
It's ringing through my head
It's ringing...
