Like Make Believe
Embracing Dreams: Mark Bryan's Melody of Longing and Love
Lyrics
Save me tonight
Expressing a plea for help or rescue tonight.
Night falls and I'm dreaming
As night falls, the speaker is in a dreamlike state.
Change my mind
Expressing a desire to change one's mind or perspective.
Keep me from leaning

My mind can run away without you
Acknowledging that the mind tends to wander when not with a significant other.
But my hands only imagine
While mentally distant, the hands are yearning for a tangible connection.
Come home to me
Inviting a loved one to come back home.
I know I shouldn't but I need you baby
Admitting a conflict between knowing it's not advisable but feeling a strong need for the person.
You're so real to me, and it's
Affirming the person's reality and importance.
Like make believe without you

Take me tonight

All day I've been waiting
Implying anticipation and longing throughout the day.
Turn out your light

Keep the fire burning

My mind can run away without you

But my hands only imagine
Highlighting the imagination being limited to the hands, emphasizing the need for a physical presence.
Come home to me
Repeating the invitation for the loved one to come home.
I know I shouldn't but I need you baby
Acknowledging the conflicting emotions of knowing it's unwise but still needing the person.
You're so real to me, and it's like

Make believe without you

Open your heart while I breathe you
Asking the loved one to open their heart while the speaker breathes them in.
Remind me there's nobody but you
Requesting a reminder that there is nobody else but the loved one.
We drift apart but I know you
Acknowledging a potential drift but expressing confidence in knowing the loved one.
And I wanna show you, and hold you
Desiring to show and hold the loved one.
Come home to me
