I wrote this song over the course of many years, with 3 or 4 different versions of lyrics. I'm extremely proud of how the final lyrics turned out. Shoutout to Myles Harris for listening to so many versions of this song over the years.
lyrics
This feels like love
Like a love that won't hurt me
If all the stories are true and it's really you
Could you let me know?
Adulting's hard
But you stuck with me so far
I'm in a sugar sweet mood and I've been dyin to show you
The song I wrote
To my bad dream
So sweet yet sharp
Like a strawberry lemonade
We fell and lost our groove
And I kept the tune that I never used
But the words take time
I've been crafting them rhyme by rhyme
I've taken my sweet time writing fifty lines that'll feel right
For a lifetime
And I need you, I need you now
My love, my life, my dear I've seen you
In my bad dreams
And I need you when I'm all alone
It's true, yeah we stuck like glue
Baby honestly
You knew that I knew
But you let me in
Played pretend like we used to
I tried to leave your home but I still don't know
How to run away
A feeling sweet and pure
Like the summer tour where you met me
A living sex scene, seventeen and learning to live
With my bad dreams
All the bad dreams
And I need you, I need you now
My love, my life, my dear I've seen you
In my bad dreams
And I need you when I'm all alone
It's true, yeah we stuck like glue
Baby honestly
I know that you knew
You fuck me up
It's been months since we talked last
I always said the wrong things
And I really hate that you hurt like that
You've seen my flaws
Every hairline fracture
I'm feeling fifteen, losing sleep and overthinking a bad dream
Just a bad dream
And I need you, I need you now
My love, my life
My dear I've seen you
In my bad dreams
And I need you when I'm all alone
It's true, yeah we're stuck like glue
Baby honestly
