Dream With You
Sunset Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bait me with those eyes
Taking what is mine
Fake me with those lies
I find
I’m slipping through the ice
Reaching for the sky
Now I pay the price
You’re why
Take me back
Where I’m from
Miss my past
What I’ve become and
Oh oh oh
She lit my
Gentle fuse
She’s in disguise
But left me clues and
Oh oh oh
Dream of California
Dream of the sun
Drifting to the tide
Hate to say goodbye
Now I’m stuck inside
Your mind
Leaving where your from
The prize that can’t be won
I never realized
You’re why
You're why
Dream of California
Dream of the sun
Psychological warfare
I suffered a soul tear
Cause she don’t ever speak her mind
I sit with fake emotion
While I puff her potion
But she don’t ever realize
Alibis will hide
When you attract the tide
For those that take the ride
Are those to stay beside
But you still live a lie
Under this liquid sky
But never trusted I
Could ever wonder why
My life is sick
I've come to know
She left me quick
But came too slow and
Oh oh oh
Dream of California
Dream of the sun
Dream of California
Dream of the sun
I’m slipping through the ice
Reaching for the sky




Now I pay the price
You’re why
