In Love With A Dream

[Verse 1]
You walk in on a Tuesday
But my mind’s already gone
I’m tracing every maybe
On the margins of your name
You laugh about the weather
I memorize the sound
I’m building little futures
You’re just hanging out
[Chorus]
I’m in love with a dream
Not the way that it seems
You’re a picture in my head
I keep painting while I sleep
I’m in love with a dream
You’re a story I repeat
You’re so close that I can touch
But you’re miles inside of me
[Verse 2]
You ask me how I’ve been now
I say “fine” and change the track
You talk about your weekend
I rewrite it in my mind
You’re holding someone’s jacket
I edit out their face
You’re talking about leaving
I freeze you in this place
[Chorus]
I’m in love with a dream
Not the way that it seems
You’re a picture in my head
I keep painting while I sleep
I’m in love with a dream
You’re a story I repeat
You’re so close that I can touch
But you’re miles inside of me
[Bridge]
Maybe I should wake up
Say your name like it’s the truth
Tell you every quiet scene
That starts and ends with you
But I don’t want to lose you
To the weight of what is real
So I hold you in the halfway
Where I never have to heal
[Chorus]
I’m in love with a dream
Not the way that it seems
You’re a picture in my head
I keep painting while I sleep
I’m in love with a dream
You’re a story I repeat
If you ever turn and see me
Will you love the real of me
Or the dream you made of me

Shimmering synth-pop ballad, midtempo pulse with warm pads and bright arps; male vocals soft in the verses, opening into a soaring, layered hook on the chorus. Tight electronic drums, sidechained bass, and subtle vocoder harmonies on key phrases. Final chorus adds lifted key change and wide stereo delay for a floating, euphoric finish.
