Cold Side Of The Pillow Lyrics

When life feels like a comprise
Just a disappointment on a list
I take a breath and close my eyes
and remind myself that I'm an optimist

When all you send are angry words
And all I feel like sending is a fist
I laugh it off as just absurd
'Cause after all, I am a pacifist

If hope is built on nothing more than innocence
I hope we haven't stripped it all away
If growing up is staring down another day
Let me sleep, oh let me find
The cold side of the pillow

We're quick to judge the young at heart
But what has age exactly done for us
A wrinkle here some wisdom there
We're oh so self assured and serious

It's funny how the more we know
The less we seem to really understand
Is this ignorance or innocence
Does having faith make me less of a man?

If hope is built on nothing more than innocence
I hope we haven't stripped it all away
If growing up is staring down another day
Let me sleep, oh let me find
The cold side of the pillow

My sweetest dream, I can't recall
I've been asleep to long to notice this at all
My sweetest dream, wrapped up inside
Painted pristine, like nothing you have seen before
Like nothing you have seen before....
