[Verse 1] I met you in a dream last night You had a grin that made things right You laughed at my old anime lines Then stole my fries like it was fine You knew my cats by name somehow You said, “Relax, they like me now” We sat out back in folding chairs Like love had always lived out there [Pre-Chorus] And we were talking like old friends Like this good thing would never end You knew my jokes before I told You made my nervous heart feel bold [Chorus] Italianhippie, don't wake me now I found my girl by the backyard fire somehow Italianhippie, let it play out Beautiful, smart, funny, right on my route We were high, we were home, we were finally in tune I want that dream I want you soon (Italianhippie) [Verse 2] We worked the rows out on the farm Mud on our boots, your hand on my arm You said, “This place could feed a life” Then you laughed like you'd been my wife You fixed the fence, I fixed the gate We made a joke and called it fate The moon hung low like a porch light glow And everything in me said, “Go slow” [Pre-Chorus] You were the one I never met Still somehow you felt like “yes” A future with dirt on our knees And big dumb hope in the breeze [Chorus] Italianhippie, don't wake me now I found my girl by the backyard fire somehow Italianhippie, let it play out Beautiful, smart, funny, right on my route We were high, we were home, we were finally in tune I want that dream I want you soon (Italianhippie) [Bridge] I woke up with the sheets all cold And the daylight felt a little too bold Just me, the walls, and the quiet truth No laugh, no hand, no you So I’ll keep this heart where it belongs In a half-made wish and a half-sung song Till real life learns to catch up right I’ll chase you back through sleep tonight [Chorus] Italianhippie, don't wake me now I found my girl by the backyard fire somehow Italianhippie, let it play out Beautiful, smart, funny, right on my route We were high, we were home, we were finally in tune I want that dream I want you soon (Italianhippie) [Outro] If you’re out there, take your time I’ll meet you where the stars unwind Until then, I know what to do I’ll go back to sleep and dream of you (dream of you)
