Dreaming Out Loud

A pleasant kind of numbness
Running through your head
And echoing back and forth
Are the words you've left unsaid

There's a field of clouds before you
But you can't see the silver lining
And you wonder where your voice has gone
While you're dreaming out loud

A quiet, peaceful moment
When you whisper in your mind
You sing songs of lovely melodies
While you're dreaming out loud

Staring into the sky
Hoping that there's more
You've been searching for so long
But you're not sure what you're searching for

You listen to the birds sing
Unaware of all that's around you
But you do know one thing
You are dreaming out loud

And you want a way out
You want to escape
But you don't know which way is out
So you're stuck inside this dream

I guess that you'll just stay where you are
And keep dreaming out loud
