Dream That’ll Never Come True

[Verse 1]
Mama, last night I had a dream that you came back
You were standing in the kitchen where you always laughed
Coffee on the counter, sunlight on your hands
You said, "Baby, I'm right here, right where you stand"
I woke up to the quiet and an empty chair
Your sweater on the back like you were still there
I reached out in the dark like I could pull you through
But my fingers only closed around the truth
[Chorus]
Mama, last night I had a dream that you came back
But I know that’s a dream that’ll never come true
Still I see you in the doorway, hear you calling me back
And some days it feels like all I do is lose you
I might end up cryin' sometime today
But I’m still your kid, trying to find my way
[Verse 2]
They say time is a healer but it moves too slow
I’m still talkin' to your picture on my phone
Got your name in my favorites like you’ll call me soon
Got your voice in my head when I cross this room
I’m angry at the sky, at the hospital walls
At the clock, at myself for not catching your fall
But when the rage burns out and the night breaks through
I’m just a little kid, reaching out for you
[Chorus]
Mama, last night I had a dream that you came back
But I know that’s a dream that’ll never come true
Still I see you in the doorway, hear you calling me back
And some days it feels like all I do is lose you
I might end up cryin' sometime today
But I’m still your kid, trying to find my way
[Bridge]
If I could trade every song, every breath, every plan
Just to feel one more squeeze of your hand (yeah)
I’d sign it all away in a broken heartbeat
Just to hear you say my name when our eyes meet
[Chorus]
Mama, last night I had a dream that you came back
But I know that’s a dream that’ll never come true
Still I see you in the doorway, hear you calling me back
And some days it feels like all I do is lose you
I might end up cryin' sometime today
But I’m still your kid, trying to find my way
