Lyrics

All my life is changing everyday,
In every possible way.

Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems,
Never quite as it seems.

I know I’ve felt like this before,
but now I'm feeling it even more,
Because it came from you.

Then I open up and see 
The person falling here is me,
A different way to be.

Aha,la-ah-la-ah
La-lala
La-ah-la-ah

I want more,Impossible to ignore,
impossible to ignore.

And they'll come true 
Impossible not to do, impossible not to do.

And now I tell you openly, 
you have my heart so don't hurt me.
You're what I couldn't find.

A totally amazing mind,
so understanding and so kind
You're everything to me.

All my life is changing everyday,
In every possible way.

Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems,
'Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me.
