I had a dream late the other night, but it was just a glimpse/
We were on the Ivory Coast tomorrow, I saw our footprints/
You see I'm cold in my heart, need something to warm it up, around you/
And I been reaching for the stars, I always thought it was hard till I found you/
Verse 1:
And I don't ever know, how the story unfolds/
Try to take it in slow, while I’m out on road/
I don’t know any of these faces, I’m playing these shows/
Whilst I’m surrounded by their praises, I'm feeling alone/
These people thinking it's easy, I resent the most/
While I'm doing every single thing just so i stay afloat/
Pre-written most of my letters, to my acceptance toast/
If you ain’t with me now, then don’t expect no fucking letters home/
It’s just me myself and I, while I'm in my zone/
Eyes, on an empty throne / Ry’s, kinda empty though/
Life’s, kinda different chasing women in expensive clothes/
Why is people telling me I’m tripping when it’s set in stone?/
(Verse outro)
But I guess it's a journey/
I said fuck the destination, enjoy it but at the moment it hurts me/
Cos you know I'm trying to make it, the problem is I ain't made it/
I'm lonely/
Wish I could give you the old me/
Chorus:
I had a dream late the other night, but it was just a glimpse/
We were on the Ivory Coast tomorrow, I saw our footprints/
You see I'm cold in my heart, need something to warm it up, around you/
And I been reaching for the stars, I always thought it was hard till I found you/
Do you know where I'm coming from?
Tell me you know, you know, you know/
That's all I want/
Tell me you know, you know, you know/
Ain't nothing wrong/
Tell me you know, you know, you know/
'Cos we only got this shot, so tell me it's what you want now/
(Repeat chant)
I know you’re feeling exhausted…/
They confuse me with their talking, see I’m all about us walking, tonight/
Wearing torn denim, sipping on the cheapest of wine/
Verse 2:
They think got me now, but I’m not overwhelmed/
I’m way too focused, ain’t got many thoughts floating around/
'Cos my intentions in direction of leaving this town/
So if you plan on staying, hope you know that I’m dragging you out/
Still need you around as someone to hold me in check/
I'm writing songs about advice that I know I'll forget/
I’m spending nights with all these friends that I’m told to neglect
I'm sick and tired of becoming something I’m scared to resent/
Bridges I should of burnt, still keeping us close/
So whisper to me things, that I never needed to know/
Yeah, counting my blessings and shaking these hands/
With these people that used to question I’m taking a chance/
