lyrics

what's in your name?
i know you well
but tell me anyway

we are the same
and different, well
but always i knew

dreamers lie asleep at night and dream of things in truth
i wish i may i wish i might but these don't all come true

and when we dance
knowing we could stay right here forever
lost in this trance
nothing else could ever really matter

this masquerade
you know too well
they're not here anyway
we'll be the traitors to the room

dreamers lie asleep at night and dream of things in truth
i wish i may i wish i might but these don't all come true

and when we dance
knowing we could stay right here forever
lost in this trance
nothing else could ever really matter
