[Verse 1]
There was sun
Shone down upon me
Felt so warm on me
Golden leaves hanging on the trees
So much sun
The summer shimmer
I saw a glimmer
I could be who I wanna be
[Pre-Chorus]
I could dream that, I could dream that
I could dream that, I could dream that
I could dream that, I could dream that
I could dream that, I could dream that
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be
[Verse 2]
Thеre was sun
Indica head rush
Bursting upon us
All my flaws layin' on the ground
In thе sun
I'm not a stranger
Black-hearted angel
Oh, I hate when you're not around
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I feel somewhere else or somewhere in between
Some days I don't feel a thing at all
Now, I'm pulling back the screen to let the future in
The light comes flooding in
The light comes flooding in
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be
[Post-Chorus]
When there was sun
When there was sun
When there was sun
There was sun
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I feel somewhere else or somewhere in between
Some days I don't feel a thing at all
Now, I'm pulling back the screen to let the future in
The light comes flooding in
The light comes flooding in
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be
Oh, I wish I could dream that I could dream like I used to dream
Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be
[Post-Chorus]
When there was sun
When there was sun
When there was sun
There was sun

Conor Mason:
This was our last port of call to record; we wanted to get everything else in place before we did this. We’re really proud of how it came out, because we were unsure how it would. We loved the melody and the lyric and we thought, ‘There’s a song in here somewhere, but we just don’t kno...
Joe Langridge-Brown said the following on Twitter on October 23, 2020:
They actually came from another song we wrote that was scrapped. They were originally very fast and almost a dance hook. Funny how things work, they kind of make this song what it is now.
