  • Was it all in real time
    Or was it just in my mind
    Or was I just a ghost passing through you?
    Clinging to the wreckage
    Until I got the message
    Hanging at the edge of the room

    Give me something to dream
    Give me half of your bitterest pill
    Something from under the surface
    You actually feel

    We say these words again and again
    But they still sound the same
    It was in your eyes, in your eyes
    They were just easy lies

    The lightest words are heavy
    And promises are easy
    And no one's ever happy or sad for very long
    But just because I said it
    It doesn't mean I meant it
    I guess that was the way all along

    I'm just shaping the sound
    I'm just turning the syllables round
    Dipping my toe in the water
    And watching you drown

    We say these words again and again
    But they still sound the same
    It was in your eyes, in your eyes
    They were just easy lies

    And it's been a long time waiting
    And it's been a lifetime in the making

    We said when you are alone and afraid
    I will come to your aid
    Was it just a dream, just a dream
    Or was it real to me

    We say these words again and again
    But they still sound the same to me
    Say these words again and again
    And again and again Writer/s: RICHARD DAVID HUGHES, TIMOTHY JAMES RICE-OXLEY, TOM CHAPLIN
