Once I had a dream that I was standing in Osaka
There was a geisha and a refugee
And deep down in her pocket was a tarnished silver locket
And a picture frame that had always been empty
She takes that refugee to town and keeps her eyes down on the ground
As if she's waiting for the earth to open up
And pull the geisha and that man into the cauldrons of Japan
Beneath the streets that only serve to keep the gravity at bay
She talks, I sleepwalk
And I did not hear a thing
Once I had this dream there were two starcrossed teenage lovers
Trying to keep their secret safe from everyone
Because if their parents ever learned this, they would slash and they would burn this
And everything they know would be undone
So they hid beneath the bleachers, out of view from all the teachers
As the marching band played Hail to the Team
It was the last game of the season, they were shaking, they were freezing
There was nothing but their bodies in between
She talks, I sleepwalk
And I did not hear a thing
She's wide awake, so why am I asleep?
She's wide awake, so why am I asleep?
Once I had this dream that I could see inside your mind
And all the mysteries unraveled like a thread
Once I had this dream that I could see inside my own mind
Past denial and the walls inside my head
And it all was making sense as I let go of my defenses
And I saw the world for what it really was
And I opened up my eyes to see the end of the disguise
But I went blind before I even saw a thing
She talks, I sleepwalk
And I did not hear a thing
She talks, I sleepwalk
And I did not hear a thing

This is by far my favorite song. I absolutely love it. I especially love the second verse. What influenced you to write it? When I write its always because of things that happened in my life, and Im just curious.
Here are the chords as I hear them...

I get a lot of feedback about our podcast but have never had anyone criticize our music choice.
