Look Up

Production: Sergio de Castillo
Musician: Sergio de Castillo, Kevin Reverson, Eli Gauden

I don’t need a paper letter
I don’t need your black ink and handwritten hearts
I don’t need do know what I’m missing by being on my own
So save yourself that rubber stamp, leave me alone
Dreaming is the hardest,
When I’m dreaming about home.
Dreaming about home
 
I don’t need a phone call
I don’t need your soft and tender soothing words
I don’t need the buzzing sound of love from the other side of earth
Don’t tempt my heart to ponder on time that’s far forgone
Dreaming is the hardest
When I dream about home
Dreaming about home
 
I don’t need eight hour sleep
Cause you come to me, even in those dreams
You come here and remind me how it feels to be loved
Remind me how I’m aching, cause I’m missing you so
Dreaming is the hardest, 
When I’m dreaming about home
Dreaming about home
