lyrics

SOMEWHERE THERE IS A MOUNTAIN

I had a dream I was a mountain,
and they turned my guts to guns,
my wisdom teeth to wedding rocks,
and concrete claimed my sons.
When I woke, snow drifted in my hair,
and dirt on two of my feet.
Suppose somewhere there is a mountain
dreaming dreams that it is me.

I had a dream I was a rich man
scouting for a trophy wife
to make a living off of my death
once I had spent away my life.
I woke up with contracts in my mouth,
and checks bounced on my knee.
Somewhere there is a rich man
dreaming dreams that he is me.

I told you
every little thing I know,
every little thing I know,
every little thing I know.

I had a dream I was a window,
but I may as well been blind,
to see the same things every day
when I come home late at night.
Some hope left over in the fridge,
I kick off my heart and soul
and hang my dream up on the door
like it was just another goal.
Words carry words across the page
to clearings in your minds.
Might as well read the ending first
and save yourself some time.
Behind the mirror, another mirror.
Behind the scenes, another scene.
Suppose somewhere a window
dreams a dream that it is me.
