I throw myself into the rain   as we run dow nthese old train   tracks again   the moon is naked in the sky   so maybe you and i could fly   or pretend      as the stars fall from grace   and light your glowing face      i'm teaching myself to dream   i'm holding my breath to scream   i'm teaching myself to   believe in things i don't understand   i don't even know if they're true   that's what dreamers do      i can't say what day it is or year   but thou shalt have no fear   for i know your name   you can't believe what i did   and maybe i'm just a kid   but then we're both the same      i watch the hours through the glass   and know that time will finally pass      i'm teaching myself to dream   i'm learning what love can be   i'm teaching myself to   believe in the things i don't understand   i don't even know if they're true   that's what dreamers do      stapled eyes can't open until waking   and all your lies will be your undertaking      i let my mind dance and flow   we'll make magic and i'll know   as the lilacs slowly grow   all my dreams are true      i'm teaching myself to dream   i'm holding my breath to scream   i'm teaching myself to   believe in things i don't understand   i don't even know if they're true   that's what dreamers do   that's what dreamers do
