Part I · The High School Era (1992–1996)
I’m addicted to love’s illusions
I need to find some truth
I need answers to my questions
I need to find some proof
Reality lies with the morning sun
Whose sultry sphere is slowly rising
I need to reach out to it
Beyond the dream’s horizon
It’s an array of mixed feelings
It’s a spell that takes me away
It’s a host of a hundred sensations
That bring color to this realm of gray
I escape the world of worry and doubt
And find refuge in this peaceful place
Where loving you is what life’s about
And you are perfect pristine grace.
Every time you smile
I must smile as well.
Yours is a miracle;
Mine that I might tell…
For within the depths of my heart
I conceal the passion I hold for you
But of all the emotions that I feel
The ones I present are but few
Because words don’t flow from uncertain hearts
And only the music of their dreams can be heard
Like the songs of singing larks
It says more than can be said by any single word
I see you through a magical lens
And begin to doubt your existence
Perhaps all we’ll be is a couple of friends
Maybe this is just coincidence
I watch from behind an invisible curtain
Far away in a state of rue
And sing this song until I’m certain
That my love for you is true
You look at me.
I look at you.
Will it ever be?
It’s so easy to dream…
