I'm waking up with salt on my eyes
wondering in which dream I must've died
think of a time when your smile was quiet
cause it's blinding me now to what I need to get by
I think a lot about the way this feeling has spread
the strangest moments seem to play and replay in my head
asking me if I believe in anything
then ask anything softly to let it ring
in my pocket snow melting around my ring
a little thing that seems to remind me of me and you
asking me if I believe this feeling is true
then ask anything softly again for you
my heart is rushing ahead
and I've got no choice but to follow it
