Outburst

Three nights you were in my dreams. And what is strange is we become more intimate the longer I find you in my sleep.

I have instructed my heart to suppress every trace of romantic feelings long ago. I even try not to think, for every thought of you makes me remember how to really feel...

If I have managed to see you as a friend in every waking moment, then why does my dreams vividly tell of another story?

All because I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
And angels fall without you there
And I'll go and lead you home and
All because I'm
All because I'm
And I'll become
What you became to me

I now know who makes his heart beat.
