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.
Having dreams about you
I want to scream about you
I'm having dreams about you
I want to scream about you
Everything you've done
You were the girl who seemed to own the world
Everything was about you
I took a chance to call you my own
I didn't know a thing about you
I though you could love
What a fool I was
It 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 with out you
You said that love was dead and in my head
I just couldn't believe it
And on the phone you said
You never knew me at all (2x)
I thought there was love
What a fool I was
And everything was in hyper-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
Having dreams about you (4x)
