5:15 Lyrics
verse1:
5:15 monday morning
dreamt you called me on the phone
well i got my taste of freedom
now i sing a lonley song
i watch my time fly by on smoke rings
the last pinch of buglers gone
outside i hear it raining
cause not i know what it means to be alone


Chorus:

these dreams are haunting me
chasing me
then leaving me
in silence
i cant sleep its 5:15
youre memorey is killing me
in my mind

turn on the radio
but its playing all our songs
last night i dreamed i kissed you baby
but it didnt feel so wrong
the truth is that i miss you
Lord i thought i was so strong
our love is like these ashes burning
cause now i know what it means to be alone 
Notes on 5:15
i have always had the most vivid dreams.  
after two and a half years, an engagement, and alot of broken 
promises and dreams me and my ex-fiance finally just gave up.  i 
dont think ive ever loved someone on this earth more than her.  
i really felt like it was the right thing to do but subconciously 
i beat my self to death.  i just could not sleep.  things got to 
really suckin.  after awile depression, lack of sleep, and lack of 
appitite will about drive a fella mad.  just about every night id 
have these vivid dreams about my ex.  sometimes it would be a 
memorey relived.  sometimes i would just be walking with her 
holding her hand, talking about nothing and loving every minute 
of it.  other times id have to complete different scenarios 
before time ran up.  my prize would be just a little more time 
with her or in the worst dreams she would offer to tell me what 
i had to do to make her love me again.  lots of times she would 
tell me but i couldnt hear her or someone would pull me away  at 
the last minute, or that darn alarm clock would wake me up to 
another long sleep deprived day at work.  after awile these dreams 
really began to piss me off, it made me mad that i longed for my 
life asleep more than reality.  i wrote this song at 515 one 
morning after waking up from one of these dreams i had about 
three hours of down time and could not fall back to sleep and 
figured at least i could get a song out of all this mess lol.
   

the tough thing about sin is this.  Christ wipes clean the 
eternal consequences of sin away but sometimes He allows 
the present pain to stick around a bit.  i dont claim to 
understand all the ways God works but i know that He does 
work all things out for His glory.  i dont think God enjoys 
watching me suffer.  i believe that choices have consequences, 
i made some bad ones and now Christ is using the most hellish 
times in my life to bring about Godly character in me.  these 
dreams have been a time in my life where i have had to face my 
choices and decisions and be refined in the fire so to speak(btw 
fire is real and fire hurts).  this is part of a temporary cross 
i must bare and an uphill slant in a race i must run.  but run i 
shall and bare i must.
