[Verse 1]
Every night I used to wish that (wish that)
Rewinding time wasn't this life away (yeah)
That I wouldn't have to wake up (wake up)
And find myself suffering through a Monday (ayy)
My life used to be so much simpler
Before I met you, I was just a number (just a number, yeah)
Every night I used to wonder (used to wonder)
Hiding underneath the covers (yeah yeah)
Now its time to find the new guy (new guy)
Who'd fuck me up and suck my hope dry
And left me thinking about the good times (good times)
Before my life started ending up in rhymes (yeah)
Every night I used to wonder (used to wonder)
When I'd end up in a gutter (in a gutter, yeah)
This is just the culture, yeah, this is just the culture (ayy)
I'm hoping now that the time comes around
That id be found grasping straws in my underground
Pothole in the ground, you'd fall and be found (fall and be found, yeah)
[Hook]
This is just a pipe dream
Yeah this is just a pipe dream (pipe dream)
Lost and found, I'm lost and found now (fuck it up)
(Break it down)
[Instrumentals]
[Verse 2]
Messing up relationships every day
Make mistakes which makes everything not okay
But I'm trying to be the better me
Trying to be the better me
In this pipe dream
This is just a pipe dream (yeah)
This is just a pipe dream
