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.

THINGS THAT CANNOT BE

1) Sometimes after midnight
When the night’s too dark to see
You don’t want it but you get haunted
By the things that cannot be
 
2) Sometimes long past bedtime
When the room’s blue with TV
A lonely mammal might change the channel
To the things that cannot be
 
BRIDGE: 
Sometimes when the dawn comes
And you get your light for free
Objects formed from heartache disappear
Shadows stretch and fade 
From things left by a troubled mind,
Dread evaporates just like a tear. 

3) But then the sun stirs the garden
And the flowers wave, carefree
What goes missing– and here’s the blessing 
Are the things that cannot be.

4) Then again past midnight
When the night’s a foreign sea
You could drown ‘cause you are loaded down 
With the things that cannot be
