CAN’T STOP DREAMING
No plan to lose, grateful to gain, 
I am an insect that sings in the rain 
As long as my breathing repeats its refrain, 
Forgive me, I can’t stop dreaming. 
        
Call it a vision, or call it a quest 
To lie in a bunk bed in the viper’s nest 
Crimes against normalcy, I must confess 
Forgive me, I can’t stop dreaming. 
     
Can’t give up (can’t stop dreaming)  
Can’t slow down (can’t stop dreaming)  
A shiny life, a shinier car, a torrid romance with a movie star 
Though dreaming alone won’t get you far,  
I just can’t stop dreaming.  

BRIDGE:
I don’t mean to interrupt–I’m on a mission to make things up
On my feet or in my bed, I can’t get creatures out of my head.
        
Live for another song, live for potential 
Life’s not just sun, the muse is torrential
I am immune to the joy in conventional.
Maybe ‘cause I can’t stop dreaming. 
   
Can’t give up (can’t stop dreaming)  
Can’t slow down (can’t stop dreaming)  
A shiny life, a shinier car, a torrid romance with a movie star 
Though dreaming alone won’t get you far,  
I just can’t stop dreaming.

ROOFTOP
We  pretend this rooftop’s endless
Even though it is not.
We rely on superpowers
That we haven’t actually got.
So when we reach the edge, the ledge
And no choir starts to sing,
We’re not some skinny soul in tights–
It’s a disillusioning thing.

Stick around.  
Make it count.
Savour every bump.
Stare right at it, stare into infinity
But, for God’s sake, 
Do not jump.

DOWNPOUR

CHORUS: 
It’s torrential, elemental
Scan the sky for blue in vain
It’s a downpour– and we don’t know how to come in out of the rain.

VERSE 1a: 
If you’re lost or disillusioned
searching for a sign 
If you have regrets, you’re growing
If you’re angry, you’re in the wrong line.
VERSE 1b: 
I can’t recommend a saviour
There’s no little pill  
We shake fists at our own weather 
Maybe we always will.
 
CHORUS: 
It’s torrential, elemental
Scan the sky for blue in vain
It’s a downpour– and we don’t know how to come in out of the rain.
 BRIDGE:
First the river fills the basement, then it fills the boat
No boots in the biggest closet will keep your soul afloat.
 
VERSE 2b: There are different kinds of sorrow
Ragged and refined 
Ankle deep in fallen water–
These days I am disinclined.
 
CHORUS: It’s torrential, elemental
Scan the sky for blue in vain
It’s a downpour– we don’t have the sense to come in out of the rain. 
To come in out of the rain.
