this song is a voicenote of me recalling a dream right after waking up + an old piano riff that never found a home (til now)
lyrics
In my dream, I was going to a Cos dinner and it was also inside of an amusement park but it was also in like, Alberta or Robert was there? And my sister was there. She was younger but I was older, and I was embarrassed of how I looked. And I didn't really wanna see Robert for very long. And then it was a two part dream because ummm, I woke up in the middle of it to use the washroom, and then I came back - I fell into that dream again...
Because in that first part, I was waiting for a washroom or something and... this girl was like, playing her hair, - I don't know, doing her hair but was playing 'Take You On A Cruise' and I knew I was in the area where ******* was. School, or something weird like young -- even though we weren't young. And then ummm there was a girl I knew, uh was in their class or something. So I said to her, 'can I ask you something?' And... oh, is that the co-worker? Ha, I don't know... I said, 'did they have a thing together?' and the person said, oh yeah it's been happening for a long time, a little while.
So anyway, and then eventually...He didn't go out of his way to come see me. I got in this fight with my dad's mom who was trying to comfort me because I had been spending a lot of time in my room by myself. But she came up to me and started to hug me and I said, 'please do not touch me, I barely know you.' And she said, 'oh okay, we're upset'.
And then... I walked around with my sister and she helped me feel better.
