Not till today
When I walked out my door
Could I have sworn I’d seen leaves
On these trees before
The photos I took
Well I could be sure
You’d see them wrong
I guess that’s what this song is for

‘Cause they’ll all float away
And cause you to say
It must be a dream

Your name in my book
Spelled the usual way
But I press less hard ‘cause now I’ve pardoned
All of your mistakes
And it’s only right
At the end of the day
That you discard your shards of broken hearts
And reciprocate

It’s a game we all play
And all I can say
Is it must be a dream
It must be strange to see me living my best life out here
But I came through this town to steal the crown from strife and fear
And if you thought I wouldn’t polish till it’s clean
You must’ve heard me wrong
Or it must’ve been a dream

And not till today
When I walked out my door
Would I have thought these eyes I’ve got
Could see what lies in store
The photos I took
End up on the floor
‘Cause black and white was never quite
What I was shooting for

They all come out grey
And all I can say
Is it must be a dream

It must be strange to see me living my best life out here
But I came through this town to steal the crown from strife and fear
And if you thought I wouldn’t polish till it’s clean
You must’ve heard me wrong
Or it must’ve been a dream
