This song is about heart break. About a dream finished dreaming. About pausing and then ending. BUT NEVERTHELESS YOU CAN DANCE TO IT, because it has some great funky tunes to it! <3

lyrics

You and me
In a dream
Ice-cold water
Hard to find what I once found
In a place much warmer.
Anyhow, anyway, anywhere you go to
You will see what you saw
When I first approached you.
All the thoughts you have thought
Thinking about our story
You know them well
I know them, too.
The lust
The love
The bodies.
In a place we both know
We can't be hiding.

You press pause
Although we are ready for love.

Another dream
I take a breath
The air we breathed together
It smells of hope
It tastes like pain
You ease your safety tether.
Anyhow, anywhere, anyone you talk to
Gets as much as I got
When I last approached you.
I still feel what I felt
When you were inside me
You showed me how our life could be
You drew it out precisely.
In a place we both know
We can't be hiding.

You press pause
Although we are ready for love.

I am ready.
You are ready.
We are ready for love.
