[Verse 1]
You look prettier in this light
I prefer you in the background of an empty sky
A body in the basement of a former life
An anecdote I share to give some insight

[Pre-Chorus]
But now I can't escape the heat of July or its humidity
And I don’t miss the taste of you 'cause it's escaped my memory
I know you started off sweet before you got bitter
And I could tell it as a lie or I could say what it is now

[Chorus]
Maybe you’re a lucid dream
I tried to keep locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I tried to leave buried in the yard
The grass under my feet, you blend into the scenery
'Til you're growing flowers on my lawn
Maybe you're a lucid dream
And I'm losing sleep tryna get back to my heart
Close my eyes and take me to the start

[Verse 2]
We were better out of context
A momentary lapse that killed my common sense
Some attention that I got to build my confidence
I'm a sacrifice you made to your God complex
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I can't escape the heat of July or its humidity
And I don’t miss the taste of you ’cause it's escaped my memory
And I know you started off sweet before you got bitter
And I could tell it as a lie or I could say what it is now

[Chorus]
Maybe you’re a lucid dream
I tried to keep locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I tried to leave buried in the yard
The grass under my feet, you blend into the scenery
'Til you're growing flowers on my lawn
Maybe you’re a lucid dream
And I'm losing sleep tryna get back to the

[Bridge]
Heat of July and its humidity
Taste of you, 'cause it's escaped my memory
When the sun burns in the sky, it starts a smoldering
And I'm losing sleep tryna get back to my heart
Close my eyes and take me to the start

[Chorus]
Maybe you're a lucid dream
I tried to keep locked up in my mind
But you're just another casualty
I tried to leave buried in the yard
The grass under my feet, you blend into the scene
Until you're growing flowers on my lawn
Maybe you're a lucid dream
And I'm losing sleep tryna get back to my heart
Close my eyes and take me to the start
