2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Dimensions by Michael M White

Lyrics

[Verse]
I flew between dimensions, sailed inside the skies
To soothe the sting of your tears, that swell inside these eyes

I tried to walk each mile beside you, to feel how deep you feel
But I’m falling, falling, falling, deep desires, couldn’t see

[Chrous]
I could have known you
You wanted me to see
I could have shown you
The man I was trying to be

[Chrous]
I could have known you
You bled; I couldn’t see
I could have shown you
The man I’m trying to be


[Verse]
I flew between dimensions
Landed softly ‘neath the pines
A cabin deep in winter, dreams of passions and mulled wine

I want to walk the miles beside you
to see the things you see
But the wilting season held you
never set you free

[Chorus]
I could have known you
You wanted me to see
I could have shown you
The man I was trying be

I could have known you
You bled, I couldn’t see
I could have shown you
The man I’m trying to be


[Chorus]
I could have known you
You wanted me to see
I could have shown you
The man I was trying be

I could have known you
You bled, I couldn’t see
(I could have shown you
The man I’m trying to be)

[Instrumental]

(oo oo oo oo oo oo, trying to be)

[Fade]
