I walk passed the phone
And I like to be alone,
And all on my own,
Inside my paper home

I wish I was good,
I wish I was beautiful to you
And that you understood,
That I'd fight a war for you,
If I should

You sit by the fire,
At least I imagine you do
L. Cohen sings Avalanche
I'm in a book, so are you
I wish you were here to run,
Laugh and cry with me,
Suddenly appear to love,
Live and die with me

Chorus:
In dreams I save you from harm
In dreams you always worship me
Like I've always worshipped you
In dreams we're together,
It's you and me that I see

I can always pretend
When I don't want to be alone
That you're back again,
Safe in our paper home

Things I've done wrong,
Countless in name and number
But pride feels no pain
So I run off to hide my shame

Chorus

Too bad it's just a dream
Maybe, never mind...
