Just a Dream

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 was thinking about her, thinking about me

Thinking about us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream

So I travel back, down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

I was at the top and I was like I'm at the basement

Number one spot and now she found her a replacement

I swear now I can't take it

Knowing somebody's got my baby

And now you ain't around, baby I can't think

Shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring

'cause I can still feel it in the air

See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair

My lover, my life, my shawty, my wife

She left me, I'm tied

'Cause I knew that it just ain't right

I was thinking about her, thinking about me

Thinking about us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream

So I travel back, down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

When I be riding man I swear

I see her face at every turn

Trying to get my usher over, I can let it burn

And I just hope she notice

She the only one I yearn for

More and more I miss her, when will I learn?

Didn't give her all my love

I guess now I got my payback

Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby

Hey, she was so easy to love

But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough

I'm going through it every time that I'm alone

And now I'm missing, wishing she'd pick up the phone

But she made a decision that she wanted to move on

'cause I was wrong

And I was thinking about you, thinking about me

Thinking about us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream

So I travel back, down that road

Will we come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up

And now they're gone

And you wish you could give them everything

I said, if you ever loved somebody put your hands up

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up

And now they're gone

And you wish you could give them everything

I was thinking about her, thinking about me

Thinking about us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream

So I travel back, down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

And I was thinking about her, thinking about me

Thinking about us, what we gonna be?

Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream

So I travel back, down that road

Will she come back? No one knows

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream
