[Verse 1]
Could you tell the enchantment I said goodbye?
I met a girl named disillusionment
Could you tell her I made the headlines?
Says "boy draws wings on everything"
Could you tell her to check the headlines?
Says "boy burns angels in the river"
[Chorus]
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years
[Verse 2]
Birds are flying out of water
Underneath the sky
I run up to the rainbow girl
Just to pass it by
And I'll never have a change of heart
My swan will never sing
I have no heart, the swan is gone
And now I wear the wings
[Chorus]
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for 29 years
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
For 29 years before I saw you
