what we already know

i heard a whisper in my sleep last night

it held me

like a mother holds her newborn child

oh woah oh

oh woah oh

and in that moment that i held to keep

i asked myself

why am i afraid of life?

what am i waiting for?

there's so much more that you've never seen before

and your dreams will stay grateful

and what we already know

open the front door

take a step outside

it's winter

it's 95 degrees inside

oh woah oh

oh woah oh

when i think of all the things i've missed

i have regret

but hey man that's just part of life

and now i face a brand new day

burning like the sun

the starting line is over

the race already won

well there's so much more that you've never seen before

and your dreams will stay grateful

and what we already know

and what we already know

mrs harper with her bleached blonde hair

and a sweet caress

is kissing her old man goodbye

him home from the graveyard shift

breakfast time as they arrive)

i hear the ringing of a mobile phone unanswered

and a beautiful house lands on the hill

while he walks his grandchildren to school

and i remember school

what a memory. what a place to be. what a memory. and i wonder where.my old friends could be.
