i picture you heading my way

a fire in your eye and a smile on your face

and as you come closer

my head begins to spin

as i anticipate the feeling of your lips on my skin

well is it a dream

or is it a nightmare

have i been here before

do i really want to go there

cause if it's not about you

then it's all about me

do i want you as you are or just my fantasy

but what do i see

when i open my eyes

is it the man that you are

or the man in my mind

do you do the same thing

when you think about me

do you picture me laughing

and how happy we will be

do you leave any room

for the real like me

or is it all planned out forever

we will be stuck in a dream

or is it a nightmare

have you been here before

do you really wanna go there

cause if it's all about you

then there's no room for me

if you decide who i am

you miss the most precious things

spirits alive

baby don't try to name it if spirits alive

who am i to try to tame it

cause if we're coming from love

coming from love

don't have to worry about a thing

and if we're headed for love

real real love

she'll give us everything we need

what a strange thing that we do to one

another it's like we squeeze out all the light

when we're planning out our lover

like if we get it just right

before we even begin

and then we get it to stay

just so that we won't be hurt again

but is that a dream

i think it sounds like a nightmare

it's a place that i've been

and i don't wanna go back there

so i'll meet you on the other side of the fantasy

i want to look at you up close

and i want you to see me

can you take me as i am

with my shadows and my darkness

if we dare to go in deep

i just know we'll find the good stuff

cause if we're coming from love

we're coming from love

don't have to worry about a thing

and if we're headed for love

god's pure love

so give us everything we need

and we can wake from the dream

walk away from the nightmare

step back into life

you know i really wanna live there
