Every now and then I dream a dream about you
You might think it's cute but let me share my point of view
It's always 'bout how I f*ck up and ruin things with you my love
My never-ending nightmare's losing you
When I wake up in the morning in a cold sweat
Or at three a.m. when I just want to reject my dream
The relief I get when I realize I didn't mess things up last night
And so I'll hold you tight while you're asleep
Now the next night I will realize that I'm too scared to close my eyes
And witness this again cuz I don't know how long until it breaks me
On rare occasions I might just get lucky
It's not a dreamless night, something I've seen turns to absurdity
A game that's purely played by ducks, a hat that skips the line at Starbucks
At least it's not a dream about you, honey
When I think of you I hope you're fine
Wishing that you're well enough so you could say that you're all mine
I'll make your warm embrace my home so I don't have to feel alone
If I go to bed myself tonight
Now the next night I will realize that I'm too scared to close my eyes
And witness this again cuz I don't know how long until it breaks me
The photos where you look so cute, the playlists you made to jam to
With melodies that sing that there's no way that we're not meant to be
I hope I can dream a little dream without you
My nightmare girl, she occupies my brain
Darling, be the first thing I see when I wake
But so I don't go insane, please stay out of my nightmares
Please stay out of my nightmares
Every single night in this past week
You have been the princess of my dream
But the fairy tale has changed, in this fantasy you stay
So who needs to wake up when I can sleep
Now the next night I will realize that I'm too scared to close my eyes
And witness this again cuz I don't know how long until it breaks me
The photos where you look so cute, the playlists you made to jam to
With melodies that sing that there's no way that we're not meant to be
My bed's no longer a safe place to close my eyes cuz I'm afraid
That I'll wake up to only me
I hope I can dream a little dream without you
My nightmare girl, she occupies my brain
Darling, be the first thing I see when I wake
But so I don't go insane
I hope I can dream a little dream without you
My nightmare girl, she occupies my brain
Darling, be the first thing I see when I wake
But so I don't go insane, please stay out of my nightmares
Please stay out of my nightmares
Please stay out of my nightmares
