verse
In my dreams, you're dyin'
It wakes me up, and I can't stop cryin'
I just wanna live forever
Keep my promises, keep it together
verse
In my dreams you're livin'
Open your eyes, and I wake up forgiven
Just a little somethin' to thin the blood
How can I live with so much love?
chorus
Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on, baby, take my hand
We can walk, if you don't feel like flyin'
We can live, I don't feel like dyin'
Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on, baby, ain't got no plans
Boys and girls got all the answers
Men and women keep growin' their cancers
verse
In my dreams, we're kissin'
It wakes me up, but you've gone missin'
Born so close, but we grow apart
And all the sickness starts in the heart
verse
In my dreams you're dyin'
It wakes me up, and I can't stop cryin'
'Cause it's a date night, dead-eyed American dream
And it leaves you, baby, if you let it leave
chorus
Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on, baby, take my hand
We can walk, if you don't feel like flyin'
We can live, I don't feel like dyin'
Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on, baby, ain't got no plans
A little somethin' to thin the blood
How can I live with so much love?
