Dream Girl
ratwyfe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

met this girl in the astral plane
didn’t get her number, didn’t catch her name
but i don’t know how i lived my life before her
my literal dream girl, i fell in love
she told me to meet her when i wake up
so now i spend my daytimes looking for her

and when i go to bed
she’s living rent-free in my head

shes my astral plane girl
i see her when i sleep
when i wake up i describe her in a journal that i keep
quit caffeine just to see her again
don’t wake me while i’m sleeping, i don’t want our dates to end

10 milligrams of melatonin
sleeping pills, tonight i’m hoping
to see her face and hold her hand again
want her to come visit me
anywhere besides my sheets
my pillow princess who i only see in bed

lost in my imagination
prefer sleep to when i’m waking

shes my astral plane girl
i see her when i sleep
when i wake up i describe her in a journal that i keep
quit caffeine just to see her again
don’t wake me while i’m sleeping, i don’t want our dates to end

queen of my dream world
she’s my literal dream girl
always there to turn my nightmares nice
queen of my dream world
she’s my literal dream girl
if i knew her in real life i’d make her mine
queen of my dream world
she’s my literal dream girl
always there to turn my nightmares nice
queen of my dream world
she’s my literal dream girl
if i knew her in real life i’d make her mine

shes my astral plane girl
i see her when i sleep
when i wake up i describe her in a journal that i keep
quit caffeine just to see her again
don’t wake me while i’m sleeping, i don’t want our dates to end





(so if you're out there, come find me)
