Lyrics
Connecting stream
Through secret cities in my mind
Sometimes I catch the dream
But then I’m pulled inside
And I can’t get out
From worlds of light and rain, no I can’t get out
Take in the night
Through my window, such a trip
Maybe I’ll change the whole world
Into a paperclip
But I don’t get out
From worlds of light and rain, no I don’t get out
Just a dream
I hope
Reset tonight
Reset tonight
There is nothing here to haunt us
No more darkness left to fight
Reset tonight
Reset tonight
I won't forget until I close my eyes
Reset
