You're treating your life like it was never ending
And making it work
Like lovers pretending
With stars all around
And tears in the ground
Now forget what I told you
And don't make a sound
Winter was coming in colour and mood
I ran into your brother just up the road
Said 'give her my compliments
Give her my love'
I adjusted the ending
And stayed with that feeling
Make up a dream for the little
Make up the rest of your life
You packed you belongings and longings
And you flew right into my heart
They found you tonight where the water is shallow
You legs were all pale
And your breathing was slow
So they turned you around
Your skinny arms resting
It's sick and it's wrong
What they are suggesting
You celebrate morning
Like you don't know the difference
The table's a stage
Your breakfast your audience
The music is magic
Your phrasing so elegant
Intentions are pure
And your friends are intelligent
Make up a dream for the little
Make up the rest of your life
You packed you belongings and longings
And you flew right into my heart
Make up a dream for the little
Make up the rest of your life
You packed you belongings and longings
And you flew right into my heart
Carry the weight of the bitter
Carry the rest of their lives
You left me a dream to remember
When you flew right into my heart
