Is it a dream or just a nightmare?
In your anger turn and walk away
Quick to argue, slow to listen
Could we try to start at the beginning?

Stay with me
I’ll never leave you here
It takes some time to give it away
You’ve got the heart that’s willing to (change)

Change direction, lax affection
Darling, what to do
Feelings last but for the moment
Often times can turn away the truth

In slowing down the words that steer the argument
We find that neither side meant any word of it

And when the fight is over
And when the dust has settled
We find that neither side meant any word of it

Behind the Song:
"This song is simply about an argument that my girlfriend and I (Matt) had and about resolving it. Many times we argue and realize later than we didn’t mean anything and that it was unnecessary." - Matt Lott (Wavorly)
