Yesterday, I reflected on all the friends I’ve lost I realized that being alive comes at a crazy cost There are so many cool people I used to know So many warm places that I used to call home I used to drink coffee on Hollywood Boulevard Becoming an adult in Los Angeles was so hard Sometimes, I can’t believe that I made it this far I grew up on such a small farm; I had tall arms Life is just never what you think it’s going to be The larger universe looks like it’s pure poetry Chorus: How do I dream a new dream? How do I become a new me? Oh, baby, that sounds soothing… The music is moving… The music is moving… Have you ever dreamed of a totally new dream? Suddenly seen the world through high beams That’s the kind of incredible insight that I mean We fall prey to the fallacy of the end of history Life still keeps on going; events are a mystery The best thing that you can do is enjoy the ride Try to have someone that you love by your side I have no idea really what else matters anymore Who was surprised we attacked Iran in a war? That’s been TikTok stories for months or more Chorus: How do I dream a new dream? How do I become a new me? Oh, baby, that sounds soothing… The music is moving… The music is moving… Everyone wonders if the grass greener on the other side They want to wake up and be living someone else’s life It’s like then one day, you’ve been totally switched around You’re never totally lost or found; you’re feeling homebound Suddenly, it matters how much flights cost in December You’ve got more happy memories than you can remember It’s like that one time that you eat the Swedish meatballs And that one time that you got to play a lot of streetball Chorus: How do I dream a new dream? How do I become a new me? Oh, baby, that sounds soothing… The music is moving… I want to be a new me…
