🎵 Dream Girl 🎵

(Verse 1)

I’ve always painted in my mind the perfect woman,

Like a fairytale in a book,

A hazy watercolor sketch,

The kind of dream my insomnia took.

I would draw her out with careful lines,

Her laugh, her eyes, the way she moves,

Something to chase when the sunrise proves that the night’s illusions don’t survive the light.

(Pre-Chorus)

Then you walked in, and my entire soundtrack changed,

My world went instantly bright.

All those years I spent searching,

Searching for a ghost, day and night.

Now I’m standing face to face with my fate,

My heart is going wild.

(Chorus)

I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake—

This is my dream, but I’m standing upright,

Soothing years of pain,

My true love, calling out my name,

I’ve met my dream girl, and I’m wide awake.

(Verse 2)

I used to wake up disappointed,

My bedside lamp illuminating doubt,

A hollow place where happiness was appointed,

My imagination was like a cruel architect,

Building palaces of delight,

Only to watch the blueprints intersect with the harsh reality of morning light.

But your reality is sharper than the fiction.

(Pre-Chorus)

You traced the lines on my hand,

And talked about the future we could share.

Now I finally got it,

I finally understand,

The love wasn’t in the wishing, it was where I stopped believing,

I had to fabricate the love I had for you,

When I didn’t have to,

Because you were always going to be true.

(Chorus)

I’m wide awake, I’m wide awake—

This is my dream, but I’m standing upright,

Soothing years of pain,

My true love, calling out my name,

I’ve met my dream girl, and I’m wide awake

(Bridge)

Forget the fantasies, the perfect fit,

The perfect lines I drew around hope.

Every small detail, a perfect surprise,

More complex than my wildest design.

I’m seeing myself through your beautiful eyes,

And realizing the life I dreamed of is finally mine.

(Outro)

No more dreaming to be able to see you.

No more wishing on a distant star.

I’m wide awake, and every dream came true.

And here we are.

And you’re real.

My Dream Girl.
