Dangerous daydreamers

Even the clouds hide daydreams 

Of jet plane rides that from down here

Are so far away they're hopeless 

Yet hopelessly, romantics still dream 

I know that the possibility of tomorrow

Can never be as tempting as 

Yesterday's "could've been" 

Because I can taste yesterday 

I held yesterday 

I labored on the foundations of yesterday 

I'm not going to talk about the millions of fish in the sea

Who always seem to be sidetracked by anything shining 

They're desperate to be hooked 

Shallow fish in an endless sea

Waters I've chartered 

By heart and stars

And prayers upon stars 

Already 

I look to the sky

Not for the future 

The past 

The clouds hide

How many nights did we lay 

At the end of this runway counting jet planes

How many times did we say it would be us

One day

We gave names to the people inside 

We sent them to exotic places 

On adventures of love and discovery 

Across the globe they'd find their hearts 

Reconnect with parts of them they'd lost

Realizing answers to questions 

They never knew existed 

We laughed! 

We lived their lives for them 

Better than they did

Somehow 

We abandoned our own 

Daydreams got the better of today 

Grounded by the reality of just how far away they really are

More work 

Than we both had ever known

But I want you to know

That my head is still in the clouds

And my heart is up there

Somewhere 

Still tumbling around
