​mandela effect Lyrics by Foster

​less than three

2022

[Chorus]
Every night
When I finally fall asleep, I see you inside my dreams, oh
In my mind
Everything you say to me turns into a memory
And it feels so real
Swear it must be real
You give me the Mandela-dela-dela effect
Mandela-dela-dela effect

[Verse 1]
We must've been together in another universe
But we woke up, separated and it fucking hurts
I don't wanna exist in a world you don't know I exist
'Cause there's a hundred million girls who don't compare, I wish
That I could make this phantom pain go away (Oh, oh)
You're the only thing that gets me through the day (I know)
That I probably sound crazy, but I promise it's true
In a parallel dimension, I was paired up with you

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm obsessin' and I can't let go (Let go)
Over someone I don't even know
I'm fallin', oh-oh-oh-oh
Turnin' and tossin', oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah

[Chorus]
Every night
When I finally fall asleep, I see you inside my dreams, oh
In my mind
Everything you say to me turns into a memory
And it feels so real (Swear it must be real)
Swear it must be real (Swear it must be)
You give me the Mandela-dela-dela effect
Mandela-dela-dela effect (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Shoot me a message in a bottle on a shooting star
I gotta know that you're missing me wherever you are
Please just tell me you're on the way
Tell me you're on the way, tell me you're on the way
'Cause I don't wanna wait anymore, it's not the same anymore
I just want what I can't remember, swear to God I had it before
(Tell me that you knew me before)
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Every night
When I finally fall asleep, I see you inside my dreams, oh
In my mind
Everything you say to me turns into a memory
And it feels so real (Swear it must be real)
Swear it must be real (Swear it must be)
You give me the Mandela-dela-dela effect
Mandela-dela-dela effect

[Outro]
Swear it must be real
Swear it must be real
