I didn't feel like sleeping
l didn't leave any room for sleep
I felt like there was too much at stake
I didn't want to meet you
But I didn't want to acknowledge
That I wanted to remain a mystery.
I dreamed with open eyes
That they didn't think you existed
But they hoped you'd always be
My lips dried out
From salt and from love
Of all the moments, I long for only one
The summer you found me
I was so happy
I wanted to hide from time in your eyes
To be able to take them in as much as I can, even for a bit

I didn't wait for an answer
I climbed even higher
I was too close to the sun
I lived in the now
Now, in the then
But will I ever find the present?
I dreamed with open eyes
That they didn't think you existed
But they hoped you'd always be
My lips dried out
From salt and from love
Of all the moments, I long for only one
The summer you found me
I was so happy
I wanted to hide from time in your eyes
To be able to take them in as much as I can, even for a bit
