War Dreams - Maps & Atlases

Sometimes I’d like to be

Of use in the face of someone else’s war

You can make a nothing out of me

And someone else could be celebrated, celebrated even more

Regardless of what I’m supposed to try preserving

I could watch it fall into, fall into the past

I could catch the medal for someone more deserving

I could watch it fall apart, fall apart at last

But lately, in my dreams

I’ve been spelling my name all wrong

Don’t have a grip on what it means

But it’s been happening 'til these feelings came along

Sometimes I’d like to be

A minute character in someone else’s dream

Just an extra, a passing shadow

In the background of the celebrating winning team

Regardless of what I’m supposed to try preserving

I could watch it fall into, fall into the past

I could catch the medal for someone more deserving

I could watch it fall apart, fall apart at last

But lately, in my dreams

I’ve been spelling my name all wrong

Don’t have a grip on what it means

But it’s been happening 'til these feelings came along
