Dream Punk

from Every Nothing by The Formaldehide

lyrics

A scattered dream that's like a far off memory
A far off memory that's like a scattered dream
I want to line the pieces up
Yours and mine

If I said that my songs weren't inspired by anyone
That just wouldn't be true
So even though this one could be for just about anyone
I know that it's about you

I once had a dream that I had not foreseen
About a boy in my life I thought was so serene
I saw him in my scene, I met him thru my screen
Then he made time to see me I felt like I would scream

He was the quiet type
Used to a client life
With video games and anime was how he'd spend his time
Sometimes he'd play with me
We'd get together and see
If unity could be the key that finally set us free

I used to build highways in the sand
Now all of my roads have returned to the earth
And while the mosquitoes take my blood
I only wish for my heart to return

Inscribe my dreams in stone
With you I feel at home

If I said that my songs weren't inspired by anyone
That just wouldn't be true
So even though this one could be for just about anyone
I know that it's about you

I once had a dream that I had not foreseen
About a boy in my life I thought was so serene
But one day that punk decided I was bunk
Told me he couldn't be mine and so my heart sunk

I thought he was the one
Thought we could have some fun
Thought our potential could be essential in the long run
But I just played myself
Place the history on the shelf
And hope the dream I believe in resides in someone else

Now I stand frozen in time
No way to move on and no way to escape
You are the only one on my mind
The dream gives me hope of finding my way

Inscribe my dreams in stone
With you I feel at home

(Stop me just before I say anymore)
Inscribe my dreams in stone
(The one that I adore falling through the floor)
With you I feel at home
(Stop me just before I say anymore)
(The one that I adore)

When will you arrive and be mine
When will you arrive and become my

Dream punk
Oh tell me when will you arrive
Oh tell me when will you arrive
Oh tell me when will you arrive
And be my
Dream Punk
