But you walked
into the room

[Verse 2]
And you never
took the ski m
ask off
When I asked y
ou to, you tur
ned away
And reappeared
with new tatt
oos
The timbre of
your voice had
#
changed
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know it's a
bad dream
[Chorus]
But oh, I wann
a build, wanna
build you bac
k from memory
Something that
can stay, tha
t can stay her
e when you go
'Cause I know
all the people
in my dreams
are just me
They're all te
lling me what
I know already
I'm caught in
the gray, drif
ting out herе
all alone
[Verse 3]
There's a stil
lnеss in the a
ir
In the late Se
ptember dusk
And the maple leaves come
Crashing down all at once
And paint the pavement crimson red
I'm catatonic,
wandering off
A song about d

d
And I can't he
lp but hum alo
ng
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It feels like
a bad dream
[Chorus]
But oh, I wann
a build, wanna
build you bac
k from memory
Something that
can stay, tha
t can stay her
e when you go
'Cause I know
all the people
in my dreams
are just me
They're all te
lling me what
I know already
I'm caught in
the gray, drif
ting out herе
all alone
[Bridge]

In the space w

[Chorus]
I wanna build,

Something that

'Cause I know
