{Intro - dark synth builds like a storm coming]
[Verse 1] We’re arguing about the noodles at the table You want the spicy one, I want number four Neither of us thought to check before we ordered Now we’re splitting something neither of us asked for
The dishes in the sink have been there for three days You said you’d do them, I said I’d do them first Now neither of us doing them, they keep piling And somehow that’s the part that makes it worst
[Pre-Chorus - voice escalating] You’re standing there confused You always say you felt abused Always about you, you and you Can we just stop and stick to what’s true Please - NOT TONIGHT
[Chorus] Dreams of you and me Nothing like I thought it would be Dreams of you and me Who takes the left side, who holds the key I thought we’d figure it out somehow But the noodles are cold and we’re fighting right now Dreams of you and me Are keeping me awake
[Verse 2] The thermostat’s been set to something criminal You like it cold, I need it twenty-four We’ve drawn a line across the middle of the blanket And neither of us sleeping anymore
I made a spreadsheet for the monthly budget You said you’d fill your half in by tonight We’re dividing everything we haven’t even bought yet And somehow that feels wrong but completely right
[Pre-Chorus] You say you always, always give out more Like everything was always revolving around me You said you’d had enough just like before That’s not true, you never listen to what I say But if you wanna go then FINE
[Chorus] Dreams of you and me Nothing like I thought it would be Dreams of you and me Who takes the left side, who holds the key I thought we’d figure it out somehow But the spreadsheet is wrong and we’re fighting right now Dreams of you and me Are keeping me awake
[Bridge - voices in the nightmare] I’m dreaming in arguments Sleeping in the spiral I never even got to the part where we were happy I went straight to the dishes
[Spoken - half-asleep, disoriented] The noodles are - nothing there The blanket is - it’s on the floor The spreadsheet was never even saved Wait.
Why is it quiet… Why is it cold… Why is there no one on the other side of this—
[Beat drops back in - realization hits]
[Final Chorus - key lift, bewildered] Dreams of you and me A relationship I don’t even have Dreams of you and me The noodles, the bills, the left side of the bed I thought I had it all figured out Turns out I was fighting with a… hypothetical Dreams of you and me I’m single. I’m fine. I think. Going back to sleep.
[Outro - voices with no one to fight] Who pays for the— THERE IS NO ONE TO PAY WITH The thermostat— IT’S JUST ME The noodle order— I CAN GET WHATEVER I WANT
…
WHY AM I SINGLE???
