You dreamed you walked the marble stairs
You had a dream of ascending marble stairs.
you'd run through all my rooms and laugh to tears
In the dream, you explored all my rooms and laughed until tears came.
you'd look me in the eyes and put your fingers up against the glass and tell me it's my chance to shine
You looked into my eyes, placed your fingers on the glass, and encouraged me to seize the opportunity to shine.
Put my fingers against the glass
I placed my fingers against the glass.
Nothing modest about me

Put my fingers against the glass

Put my fingers against the glass

You dreamed you saw me dead and broke

it was just a dream about a time machine now don't you cry
