Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sweating and breathing
And staring and thinking
Sinking deeper
And it's almost like I'm swimming
[Verse 2]
The sun is burning hot again
On the hunter and the fisherman
And trying to remember when
But it makes me dizzy
[Verse 3]
Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping
Into a dream within a dream
[Verse 4]
It's the way you whisper
[Verse 5]
The sun is setting cool again
I'm a thinker and a fisherman
And I'm trying to remember when
But it makes me dizzy
[Verse 6]
And I'm sweating, and breathing
Staring, thinking
Sinking deeper
And it's almost like I'm swimming
[Verse 7]
Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping
Into a dream within a dream
[Verse 8]
It's the way you whisper
Drags me under
Takes me home
[Verse 9]
Seems like I've been here before
Seems so familiar
Seems like I'm slipping
Into a dream within a dream
[Verse 10]
It's the way you whisper
Drags me under
Takes me home
