Dream

I had a dream that you were waiting for me
On the corner in the fading light
The car was running and the door was open
You said get in we’re gonna leave tonight

Had a
Dream that
You were waiting
Had a
Dream that
You were wait—
Had a
Dream that
You’d save me
Had a
Dream that
We would escape

Drinking cheap shots
Taking them in parking lots
The first time I saw the Sun on your face
Sharing solo cups
Keeping all the neighbors up
The first night we ever spent at your place

I had a dream that you were walking toward me
Down an aisle you were dressed in white
It felt so real oh you were standing before me
I had a dream that we were doing it right

Had a
Dream that
You were waiting
Had a
Dream that
You were wait—
Had a
Dream that
You’d save me
Had a
Dream that
We would escape

I hear about you now and then
You found someone better and
I try to smile hide the pain on my face
Cuz I remember when I met you and I told my friends
I think I found someone that I will never replace

Now my nights seem so much darker
You’re still here you’re just in my head
And I know I should have tried a little harder
Cuz now I see you when I dream instead

You said you’re leaving me for California
You said you gotta feel the Sun on your face
And I know everybody always tries to warn you
But it still hurts to be alone when you wake

I had a dream that all the fights were nothing
We shook them off and stayed in bed until two
I understood that we were building toward something
My life has always just amounted to you

Had a
Dream that
You were waiting had a
Dream that
You were wait—
Had a
Dream that
You’d save me
Had a
Dream that
We would escape
