Dream Lyrics by OneRepublic

Oh My My (Deluxe)

2016

[Verse 1]
When I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together
You said life is a painting
But all your colors always bleed together

[Pre-Chorus]
Woo, all the times you said I wasn't just quite right
Woo, and all I was trying to do was search for a light

[Chorus]
When you said
"Looked for your sunshine, it's not there"
I told myself that I don't care
I found some new innovations
Might just be my imagination
But people can dream

[Verse 2]
When I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together
Because life is a painting
But you ain't trying to show me you ain't clever

[Pre-Chorus]
Woo, for all the times you said I wasn't just quite right

[Chorus]
When you said
"Looked for your sunshine, it's not there"
I told myself that I don't care
I found some new innovations
Might just be my imagination
People can dream

[Post-Chorus]
(People can dream)
Yeah

[Bridge]
In my dark, there's a light
It might've been just a dream
But in these dark days and nights
I'll be more than what you see
In my dark, there's a light
It might've been just a dream
But in these dark days and nights, dark days and nights

[Chorus]
Oh, when I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together (People can dream)
When I was younger
So why your colors always bleed together?

[Outro]
Uh, people can dream (Woo)
People can dream
People can dream
(Woo)
