[Verse 1]
When I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together
You said life is a painting
But all your colors always bleed together
Woo all the times you said I wasn’t just quite right
Woo and all I was trying to do was search for a light
[Chorus]
When you said look for your sunshine it’s not there
I told myself that I don’t care
I found some new innovations
Might just be my imagination
But people can dream
[Verse 2]
When I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together
Because life is a painting
But you ain’t trying to show me you ain’t clever
Woo for all the times you said I wasn’t just quite right
[Chorus]
But you said look for your sunshine it’s not there
I told myself that I don’t care
I found some new innovations
Might just be my imagination
People can dream (People can dream, people can dream, people can dream)
Yeah
[Bridge]
In my dark days and night
It might’ve been just a dream
In these dark days and night
I’ll be more than what you see
In my dark there’s a light
It might’ve been just a dream
In these dark days and night (Dark days and night)
[Chorus]
Oh when I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together (People can dream)
When I was younger
So why your colors always bleed together
[Outro]
People can dream (Woo)
People can dream
People can dream (Woo)
When I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together
You said life is a painting
But all your colors always bleed together
Woo all the times you said I wasn’t just quite right
Woo and all I was trying to do was search for a light
[Chorus]
When you said look for your sunshine it’s not there
I told myself that I don’t care
I found some new innovations
Might just be my imagination
But people can dream
[Verse 2]
When I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together
Because life is a painting
But you ain’t trying to show me you ain’t clever
Woo for all the times you said I wasn’t just quite right
[Chorus]
But you said look for your sunshine it’s not there
I told myself that I don’t care
I found some new innovations
Might just be my imagination
People can dream (People can dream, people can dream, people can dream)
Yeah
[Bridge]
In my dark days and night
It might’ve been just a dream
In these dark days and night
I’ll be more than what you see
In my dark there’s a light
It might’ve been just a dream
In these dark days and night (Dark days and night)
[Chorus]
Oh when I was younger
You told me I should get my shit together (People can dream)
When I was younger
So why your colors always bleed together
[Outro]
People can dream (Woo)
People can dream
People can dream (Woo)
