Pictures of you: those lips and those big blue eyes
Falling asleep with a smile that can't be disguised

Boxed memories that I stored away to hide, from myself
Tracing all the dots we never placed in our time and space

Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep
Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep

Back when I was young, I may have seemed one way
But I would always fumble all the words that I tried to say
Trying to play it cool in front of you
That's all I ever really seemed to do
Trying to play it cool in front of you
That's all I ever really seemed to do


Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep
Even if it's only in my dreams
You've still got me smiling in sleep

A decade and a half since we were teens
And you've still got me smiling in my sleep
