Send "Waiting" Ringtone to Cell

Tonight I'll dream a girl called home
And wake up in tears
All on my own
With the sun coming up

And my head against stone
Balcony dressed and drawn
Tonight I'll Dream a room so far away
Frost pale blue

The color of a perfect day
And then screw up my face
In the mirror
As I wait for the others to call

But if I don't believe in magic
And I don't believe in blood
And I don't believe in miracles
And I don't believe in love

Then how come I believe so soon
In a cherry tree girl
And a dust blue room?

Tonight I'll dream an hour so long
Shadow soft smiles
And everyone loves me
To open my eyes

In a drag myself face undone
Hard back into the world
Tonight I'll dream a dream I dream
Without even trying I'm flying I scream

As I practice the move
I spit at my pillow stained face
And the others all come

But if I don't believe in magic
And I don't believe in blood
And I don't believe in miracles
And I don't believe in love

Then how come I believe it seems
In a girl called home
And a world called dreams?

    General Comment:Yeah Wild Mood Swings had some good b-sides, I like alot of their b-sides though, twilight garden, just one kiss, the exploding boy. they're all great songs that could make an album but for some reason they didn't think it fit on the album.

    General Comment:This song is on the B-Side of "Mint Car" but I think it's far better than some stuff on Wild Mood Swings like "Round&Round&Round", "Return" and "Club America."

    General Comment:robert said this is about a dream he had on tour.....the music really makes it sound like a dream....he really made what he saw into this song....each time i hear this song makes me think of the days gone by with castles and knights. in another sense, which is purily lyrical, i think of kafka, lol.....i know i know.....too much thought..
