The Dream Lyrics by The Favors
Fuck it up!
You moved to a ghost town
Started talking to strangers
They told you to slow down
Stay out of danger
You lied to your mother
She thinks that you’re famous
But you’re undercover
You’re missing your payments
Hard not to feel pathetic
Maxing out your credit card
On someone’s beverage
Someone you just met at the bar
She lives in Venice
Daddy was a tennis star
Now she’s a menace
On Monday morning
You get so lonely
Don’t be so boring
You’re not the only one
Naked and afraid (Afraid)
Woke up in a basement (Alone)
It’s kind of an upgrade (Upgrade)
From sleeping on pavement
Hard not to feel pathetic
Maxing out your credit card
On someone’s beverage
Someone you just met at the bar
She lives in Venice
Daddy was a tennis star
Now she’s a menace
On Monday morning
You get so lonely
Don’t be so boring
You’re not the only one
I know if you wanted to call, you would
You live in your car, but you say you’re in Hollywood
You sold your guitar just to pay for that video
You sent to the studio, it’s all about who you know
Monday morning
You get so lonely
Don’t be so boring
You’re not the only one
