Dream Town
Lost and Found in Dream Town
Lyrics
1: This time I knew we were done
This marks the realization that the relationship is over.
I'd gone too far and he'd been too dumb When he took off with all his things
Acknowledges a point of no return where both parties played a role in the breakup.
I changed the locks, and cried
Expresses emotional distress through changing locks and crying.
I lost my mind, drove around Ended up in this no-hope town
Describes a state of confusion and aimlessness after the breakup.
I don't think that I'll get much better If I try I might just forget her
Conveys doubt about improvement and the difficulty of moving on.
CH: Turn around And meet me

In our dream town Dark coffee grounds Bitter chocolate

In the hot hot sun

We could run

2: I'm kind of fine on my own
Expresses a sense of independence and coping with life alone.
Meeting old friends so long postponed New paint on our old shabby walls

I guess you'll never see
Expresses doubt that the ex-partner will witness the positive changes.
In this place I call home
Describes the current place as home but lacking vitality.
Nothing moves cos I'm on my own You could say that I'm just existing You could say that there's something missing
Conveys a sense of isolation and a feeling of emptiness.
3: I thought it would be easy

But it's not easy

I thought it would be easy

But it's not easy
