Melancholy Dream Lyrics

Add a little sugar, honeysuckle

And a great big expression of happiness

Boy, you couldn't miss

With a dozen roses

Such will astound you

The joy of children laughing around you

These are the makings of you

The righteous way to go

Little one would know

Or believe if I told them so

You're second to none

The love of all mankind

Should reflect some sign of these words

I've tried to recite

They're close but not quite

I had Dream about you

We were on movie set of what i think was a blaxploitation film

And the day was wrapping up

We were laughing and joking with my brother

And then you say something and we're all laughing

But the reference was wrong

I walk up to correct you and as I'm telling

I'm also holding you so you don't see it as me nitpicking

But The way i held you was too familiar

It was the same way we would hold each other

Throughout middle school and high school

Until you started dating that white boy, then you held him that way

I wanted to tell you the truth about what I wanted us to be

But i never mustard up the courage to do so

What If i did and you don't feel same

So i just stayed in this place of friendship

Where i can have you with me back then

Never thinking about how to keep you with me until now

I wanted to see you at graduation

But instead i just texted you "congratulations" and hoped for a reply

I never saw you after

Almost a year later one of our mutual friends brought up your name

And the middle school Field trip to six flags

And as the memory of you and me happy together came back to me

All the signs  you gave became clear as well

I felt like you cut me off because I broke up with your best friend

But now I think it's because you had enough of me

Honestly I don't blame you

I really just wanted to talk to you more

I felt like this was my change to apologize for my neglect

And as i look at you, your smile was telling

"It's okay, and I forgive you" Only of it were true

As we turn around every one else left so It's just you, me

And the sunset through the city

The sun made your skin glow brighter

Made your hair shine lighter

And your eyes sparkle brighter than the strike of ten lighters

This is what we could've been if I took the chance to aim higher

But instead  we were marinating in apple cider vinegar

I just hope in time we can make it sweet enough before it's too bitter

My alarm went off before i could kiss you goodbye

And I woke up in the same place i always do
