15 Years of Dreams

“15 Years of Dreams” by Joseph Kibler

I fall asleep by your side; TV is blasting, as I close my eyes,
And when I wake to a channel I don’t know, I’m alone,
And then I realize, 15 years have gone by and I’m on my own,
And you’re nowhere in sight, and I still wonder why?

So every night I’ll fall asleep, with static on the screen,
When it’s the closest thing to your voice,
And people will wonder why,
I can’t fall asleep without the light,

You should see me now,
I’ve gone from tie-dye to ties,
Producing my own images on the screen,
So other people can dream,
About better times and they may not wonder why,

You’ve called me up,
And before I’ve picked up,
I always know it’s you,
Your words so rehearsed,
How does it make you feel?
Yes, I’m on my medication,
And she is doing fine,
No I’m living on my own now,
Okay goodbye,
And then you’re gone for another year or two,
And now I’m left wondering why?

Now the channel is changing,
And there is a man who looks like you,
He is saying the words I wrote, I wrote just for you,
For you to tell me how you felt,
For you to help me be myself,

You should see me now,
I’ve gone from tie-dye to ties,
Producing my own images on the screen,
So other people can dream,
About better times and they may not wonder why,

Now I’m tired, so I’ll go to sleep,
Restless you in my memories,
Wrestle you in my memories,
And 15 years of dreams.
