Owl City – Dreams Don’t Turn To Dust

Tiny hands, recycled cans, the metal bands I could not stand
The time you cried and threw your crayons across the floor

These are the things I think about
When I’m alone without you
I wonder of your whereabouts
And hope like hell you’re happy where you are

You used to say that you’re just fine
But I still wonder all the time

Hockey games, medical claims, police reports, terrible grades
J, I’m so proud of all the things that you’ve done

These are the things I think about
When I’m alone without you
I wonder of your whereabouts
And hope like hell you’re happy where you are

(I’m alright, I’m alright)
I can see through everything you say
And all the lessons I never learned

You used to say that you’re just fine
But I still wonder all the time

(Do you still believe in the stories told?)
(To you by my friends and I when you were four years old?)
How it got so cold that words just froze
We had to wait ‘til summer to find out what was said
One of the best times that we had

I know I say that I’m just fine
But I hope you wonder from time to time

I was nervous from the start
That our muscles might tear us apart
(Are muscles tearing us apart?)
From the words that carve our lives
To the words that take us by surprise
(I was never taken by surprise)
From the sounds that disappear
To the changes we begin to fear
(I can hear you clearly)
One day I’ll fail to breathe
And all you’ll have are memories
(All we have are memories)
