A Lifetime of Preludes The Gaslight Anthem

[Verse 1]
They don't know where I was
They don't know and they can't say whether I should've given up
And they can't feel and they don't see
Only I can know how thin the walls have grown inside of me
In the dark, on my own

[Chorus]
But in my dreams I was in your arms
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime

[Verse 2]
I don't mind what they say
'Cause they all pretend to care 'til it's inconvenient to stay
And of course, we just smile morе
If I could help myself, I wouldn't be hеre stretched out on the floor
And the day gets so long

[Chorus]
But in my dreams I was in your arms
And the lives we lived, they seemed so far
And I could feel your heartbeat mix with mine
And I slept there for a lifetime
