Caroline

(album: Motivational Speaking - 2021)

There you were in my head
Not a stranger, yeah, you'd come to life
Mine to hold, tangible
In a fever, yeah, I dreamed we danced

There we were
There we weren't
There you were
There you weren't

Caroline
Can I pull you aside?
Can I talk you through
My vision of our life?
It'll take some time
It won't feel like a lie
We'll disappear through the years
I'll wake up when we die
Caroline

At the Rose Café
If we met and I asked your name
Would you say Caroline?
Would we vanish into the night?

Forty years
They go by
A whole future
In my mind

And Caroline
Can I pull you aside?
Can I talk you through
My vision of our life?
It'll take some time
It won't feel like a lie
We'll disappear through the years
I'll wake up when we die
Caroline

Don't take it away
Don't let it break
Did we even start?
Is that even your name?

And Caroline
Can I pull you aside?
Can I talk you through
My vision of our life?
It'll take some time
It won't feel like a lie
We'll disappear through the years
I'll wake up when we die
Caroline
