[Intro] [fingerstyle acoustic guitar, soft kick drum pulse] [Verse 1] [breathy male vocals] You left the porch light on like that could save the night Your keys in the cereal bowl, your voice too thin, too tight I saw the crack in your smile before you said a word And I knew what was coming even if it sounded absurd You kept saying you'll be fine But your hands gave you away Little shakes in your sleeves Like rain that can't stay [Chorus] [full band enters, overdriven electric guitar, driving drums] Of course it's gonna be a lot worse than your most horrific dream (Your most horrific dream) Of course it's gonna be a lot worse than your most horrific dream It's already on the screen You asked for the truth Now it's leaning in Of course it's gonna be a lot worse than your most horrific dream [Verse 2] [drums and electric guitar drop out, acoustic guitar continues] The fridge kept clicking in the hall like a clock with broken teeth You were staring at the wallpaper like it had some kind of relief I held your name in my mouth Didn't know what to do When the floor gave a little And the whole room told the truth You kept saying tell me now So I didn't dress it up If you wanted a soft landing You should have not looked up [Chorus] [full band, layered vocal harmonies] Of course it's gonna be a lot worse than your most horrific dream (Your most horrific dream) Of course it's gonna be a lot worse than your most horrific dream It's already on the screen You asked for the truth Now it's leaning in Of course it's gonna be a lot worse than your most horrific dream [Bridge] [rhythmic clicking sound, acoustic guitar] And I wish I had a kinder line, a gentler door, a smaller sky But once the dark gets in your chest, it doesn't ask, it just does the rest [Chorus] [full band, high energy] Of course it's gonna be a lot worse than your most horrific dream (Your most horrific dream) Of course it's gonna be a lot worse than your most horrific dream It's already on the screen Hold my stare Don't look away Of course it's gonna be a lot worse than your most horrific dream [Outro] [acoustic guitar solo, fading reverb]
