lyrics
I woke up from that same damn dream this morning
It always comes without a warning
I guess they’re all without a warning
Some dreams I like they make me feel like a superhero
I can’t be stopped I have no fear – oh
When I sing the people cheer
But I hate waking up to a heedful of you I tell ya
I get that you’re not my fella
But when I’m sleeping what the hell
We’re kissing and squeezing
Making and teasing
Happy and hugging
Straight up lovey doving
You want me you need me
Do anything to please me
But then I wake up
I’m more inclined to want to dream about that secret kingdom
To a door I find a key and
Crawl through a hole and I am free
And even though there always is a feeling of the sinister
It’s better than the way it hurts
Than in the morning I thought that there was
Kissing and squeezing
Making and teasing
Happiness, hugging
Straight up lovey doving
You want me you need me
Do anything to please me
But then I wake up
Was it the ice cream that I ate after 8?
Was it the pudding or the chocolate cake?
Was it that stupid rom-com that was on?
Or is it just my silly psyche goin’ strong?
Was it the ice cream that I ate after 8?
Was it the pudding or the chocolate cake?
Was it that stupid rom-com that was on?
Or was it just my silly, hopeful, delusional, won’t-let-go-al, too forgiving, too accepting, psycho psyche goin’ strong?
Cuz there was kissing and teasing and making and squeezing
Happiness hugging
Straight up lovey-doving
You wanted me you needed me
Did anything to please me
And then I woke up
It always comes without a warning
I guess they’re all without a warning
Some dreams I like they make me feel like a superhero
I can’t be stopped I have no fear – oh
When I sing the people cheer
But I hate waking up to a heedful of you I tell ya
I get that you’re not my fella
But when I’m sleeping what the hell
We’re kissing and squeezing
Making and teasing
Happy and hugging
Straight up lovey doving
You want me you need me
Do anything to please me
But then I wake up
I’m more inclined to want to dream about that secret kingdom
To a door I find a key and
Crawl through a hole and I am free
And even though there always is a feeling of the sinister
It’s better than the way it hurts
Than in the morning I thought that there was
Kissing and squeezing
Making and teasing
Happiness, hugging
Straight up lovey doving
You want me you need me
Do anything to please me
But then I wake up
Was it the ice cream that I ate after 8?
Was it the pudding or the chocolate cake?
Was it that stupid rom-com that was on?
Or is it just my silly psyche goin’ strong?
Was it the ice cream that I ate after 8?
Was it the pudding or the chocolate cake?
Was it that stupid rom-com that was on?
Or was it just my silly, hopeful, delusional, won’t-let-go-al, too forgiving, too accepting, psycho psyche goin’ strong?
Cuz there was kissing and teasing and making and squeezing
Happiness hugging
Straight up lovey-doving
You wanted me you needed me
Did anything to please me
And then I woke up
