[Verse 1] I think I lost something in the water I tried to swim to it I could not swim to it Drowned in a dream that should've made me stronger I tried to swim through it I could not swim through it [Pre-Chorus] Leave my body and the party early Cry on the train, playin' Justin Vernon Such a long walk back to thirtieth [Chorus] I have the dream again, I have the dream again My ego dies at the end, it's ego death I live the dream like I still don't know what it meant Who am I? I've lost the thread My ego dies at the end Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah [Verse 2] I lost the girl I was over a winter I tried to cry for it I could not cry for it Sank down to search the bottom of the river I tried to die for it
I could not die for it [Pre-Chorus] Leave my body and the water early Tried baptism but it felt like burning If I don't write about it, was it really worth it? [Chorus] I have the dream again, I have the dream again My ego dies at the end, it's ego death I live the dream like I still don't know what it meant Who am I? I've lost the thread My ego dies at the end [Bridge] Leave my body and my ego early Kill it kind with a surgeon's mercy Claim I "put it out of its misery" [Chorus] I have the dream again, I have the dream again My ego dies at the end, it's ego death I live the dream like I still don't know what it meant Who am I? I've lost the thread My ego dies at the end Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm Mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah
