[Verse 1]
There you were in my head
Not a stranger, yeah you come to life
Mine to hold, tangible
In a fever, yeah I dreamed we danced
There we were
There we weren't
There you were
There you weren't

[Chorus]
And Caroline
Can I pull you aside?
Can I talk you through
My vision of our life?
It'll take some time
It won't feel like a lie
We'll disappear through the years
I'll wake up when we die
Caroline

[Verse 2]
At the Rose Cafe
If we met and I asked your name
Would you say "Caroline"?
Would we vanish into the night?
Forty years
They go by
A whole future
In my mind
[Chorus]
And Caroline
Can I pull you aside?
Can I talk you through
My vision of our life?
It'll take some time
It won't feel like a lie
We'll disappear through the years
I'll wake up when we die
Caroline

[Bridge]
Don't take it away
Don't let it break
Did we even start?
Is that even your name?

[Chorus]
And Caroline
Can I pull you aside?
Can I talk you through
My vision of our life?
It'll take some time
It won't feel like a lie
We'll disappear through the years
I'll wake up when we die
Caroline
