lyrics

She folds her hands and sits there
with a blank expression
It seems like years have passed
without a second guess reflection

She closes her eyes and wishes
she lived in a dream
She pretends she doesn’t notice
she is fast asleep

And she will return

She starts a conversation
but there’s nothing to be said
She believes that life is easy
when it’s planned out in her head

But dreams are mistaken for worries
and she isn’t a child anymore
She likes to think she’s independent
but she doesn’t know what for

And she will return

She seems so familiar
but I believe we haven’t met
She lives her life in the moment
and embraces her regrets

I wouldn’t dare approach her now
she is dreaming again
There’s a smile upon her face
because the moment has to end

And she will return
