As far as the sea goes, the more I do
With plenty of god-given time, I will start to wake
Know that this dream will turn out real for heaven’s sake
I leave my heart to you…for a year…let me wipe off the tear
We’ll have more time to make memories…no need to fear
I have my ways, and I want to please
Light a candle, and keep an eye on the sea for me

With the candle glistening
And you within my grasp…listening
Your silhouette upon my wall
My heart no longer strong…beginning to sprawl
Time is near, reality is finally here
Another year will go by before I reappear

Chorus
Dreamers will remain serene
Unless you forget to wear sunscreen
Dreamers are free to swim within the sea green
This part of my mind remains unseen
I came into this place to redeem anything…it might’ve seem
Anything was real in the burning sea of dreams

The lit candle serenades around the fact
That your dreams are beginning to subtract
Wanting to perform in front of you like this every night
Becomes simple and just right
But when money has to buy you every damn thing
Walking towards your dreams becomes concerning

Will I find another you?
What will I ever do?
Do I go for what my heart wants or what my heart needs?
Do I listen to my heart or the soul that bleeds?
Could you ever give me a chance?
Can we start a friendship fast?
Let’s start to get to know each other
My name is Jayson…can we go further?

Chorus
Dreamers will remain serene
Unless you forget to wear sunscreen
Dreamers are free to swim within the sea green
This part of my mind remains unseen
I came into this place to redeem anything…it might’ve seem
Anything was real in the burning sea of dreams
