lyrics

Used to dream I found my love
Growing tall in garden soil
Blooming like a hyacinth
But I woke up from that dream

Used to dream I found my love
Over sea and ocean waves
Peaking in a foamy crest
But I woke up from that dream

Oh gee, look what you've done to me
Hate to say it, but you've got me down
Lift me up, but at arm's length
I will still be
Down

Used to dream I found my love
Age so young, so seventeen
Kissing me with wine-red lips
But I woke up from that dream

Used to dream I found my love
Warm beside me as I slept
Why can't I get back to sleep?
Why'd I wake up from that dream?
(If you think you could care)
(If you think you could)

Oh gee, look what you've done to me
Hate to say it, but you've got me down
Lift me up, but at arm's length
I will still be down

I can be anything, but I can't be that for you
Although I'm standing to the side, I'll never turn my back on you
All of this is clutter and part of our job is to clear it up
I'm sorry if that gets you down

(I can be, at arm's length… I can be, at arm's length)

Lift me up, lift me up
But at arm's length

Altered By Mom Toronto, Ontario

ALTERED BY MOM combines a knack for infectious melodies and classic songwriting with a quirky sense of humour and a tongue- in-cheek post-grunge aesthetic - like Sloan had a baby with Barenaked Ladies... and then that baby stole your cigarettes.

ALTERED BY MOM is for those that never thought they'd be trapped in an MP3. ... more
