A song about disappearing into dreamland to escape the stress of life, focussing on an object of my affections that I wrote about in a previous FAWM song, so it's nice to see old habits of obsessing over people dying hard 😂

It's musically very simple. I pretty much stole the musical concept from the song Smokin' And Drinkin' by Miranda Lambert, so I admit it's not thoroughly original. But hopefully the storytelling is interesting enough to make up for the monotony of the verses - the monotony, by the way, I'm not complaining about, I'm just aware that such melodies aren't liked by everyone.

And ignore me fluffing my lyrics in the final verse. It is meant to be, "I'm a fraud", and not, "I am fraud". Language is tricky sometimes 😜

I took a flight and came to see you in the Scottish roads I bought a ticket to a show I thought you’d love the most I made you laugh with all the punch lines to my dumb stupid jokes

I brought you back up to my hotel room with hope you’d stay I put my arm around your body and I kissed your face I lay you down and touched your skin and let my mind run away All the way All the way And it was quite the escape

I’m having difficulties With my reality so So please forgive me if I I run away from it ‘Cause shit has just been getting to me So let me dream some dreams

I pulled the covers over Wrapped you up to keep you warm I held you tightly making sure that you were comfortable I stroked your hair and kept you cradled all night until the morning

I woke up to your head still resting on my shoulder blade I looked into your eyes to see that you were wide away I ran my hand over your skin and let my mind run away All the way All the way And it was quite the escape

I’m having difficulties With my reality so So please forgive me if I I run away from it ‘Cause shit has just been getting to me So let me dream some dreams

Oh life Do what you want with me Why fight when I can just retreat? Damn right Can’t take that away from me And I like faking the fantasy Where I could be your VIP Oh life Don’t take that away from me

I had a conversation with you that I can’t recall It’s always different every time we end up in these walls But it keeps me smiling even if the whole thing’s a fraud I’m a fraud I’m a fraud And I am stupid of course

I’m having difficulties With my reality so So please forgive me if I I run away from it ‘Cause shit has just been getting to me So let me dream some dreams

‘Cause shit has just been getting to me So let me dream some dreams
