Dream Scream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm having dreams about you
I wanna scream about you
I'm having dreams about you
I wanna scream about you
Everything you've done
You were the girl who seemed to own the world
And everything was all about you
I took a chance to call you my own
I didn't know a thing about you
I thought you could love
What a fool I was
There was going on, I was just singing my songs
There was something mad about you
I took it wrong, you liked my song
Why couldn't I have you?
A crazy dream, you done me wrong
You left me long
I couldn't stand a chance without you
You said that love was dead and in my head
And I just couldn't believe it
And on the phone you said you never knew me at all
And on the phone you said you never knew me at all
I thought there was love
What a fool I was
And everything was in hiper-jinx
Just like an old time movie
You don't understand, can't comprehend
I guess it doesn't really matter
And every dream a nightmare
And nothing really matters
I thought I was loved
What a fool I was
I'm having dreams about you
I'm having dreams about you
I'm having dreams about you
I'm having dreams about you
