Tell Him He's Dreaming

(album: Bardo State - 2017)

[Solo:]
If it was up to me (was up to me)
Then I'd be chilling, living lavish, life of luxury (of luxury)
Just kicking back up on the beach and putting up my feet (putting up my feet)
Yeah, we got a cup in each, when we done with these
We gon' tell the waiter please, pour the bubbly (the bubbly)
And raise a toast to our present company (our company)
See luckily, this never has to end
Perpetual present tense, so in summary
It's Tokyo, Tuscany, wherever it's summery, oh!
That's when my phone went off and burst my bubble (burst my bubble)
Then I was right back in the rubble where the trouble be
Syd city, sitting pretty, looking lovely (so lovely)
Another rainy day at home with a cup of tea (that's Jasmine)
Jotting scriptures, washing dishes, stacking cutlery
Long division got me wishing for that currency
Hoping Mr Murrihy can up the fee
So that I can see these dreams come to be

Just don't tell him that he's dreaming (tell him he's dreaming)
Tell him he's dreaming (tell him, tell him he's dreaming)
Riding out the seasons, rhyming for a reason
Finding something to believe in

[Kai, Solo & Meklit Kibret:]
I saw you in my dreams last night
You were in my, you were in my
Or maybe it was in a past life
You were in my, you were in my
I saw you in my dreams last night
You were in my, you were in my
Or maybe it was in a past life
You were in my, you were in my

[Kai:]
If it was up to me (was up to me)
Then I'd be right, right, right where I'm meant to be (I'm meant to be)
Chilling by your side, but time is never free (it's never free)
And so I ride, ride, ride through all this ugly (this ugly)
But I keep dreaming, dreaming, you know I got big plans
Crystal pools and watermelon for my big fam
Stars at night that last forever, check the wingspan
But nothing promised, gotta get it, can I live, man?
Can I live? I said Young Hitchcock
Sunset and that ziplock, cloud porn in my brainbox
I'm seeing shapes when I'm intox, up late till I drift off
Tryna lift, lift, lift, lift, lift your spirit up when we kick off
Kick goals like Cahill when the kid cross
My brown skin home to imperfect, but I make it worth it
I been down, been low, but Y.F.T.F.B been working
Till I'm out here in Sydney, with the crowd singing with me
Feel like a dream, won't somebody just pinch me?

[Solo:]
Just don't tell him that he's dreaming (tell him he's dreaming)
Tell him he's dreaming (tell him, tell him he's dreaming)
Riding out the seasons, rhyming for a reason
Finding something to believe in
'Cause looks can be deceiving (looks can be deceiving)
So won't you tell him that he's dreaming (tell him, tell him he's dreaming)
Aw yeah, wide asleep, not a peep
Ain't no telling where you're finding me this evening

[Kai, Solo & Meklit Kibret:]
I saw you in my dreams last night
You were in my, you were in my
Or maybe it was in a past life
You were in my, you were in my
I saw you in my dreams last night
You were in my, you were in my
Or maybe it was in a past life
You were in my, you were in my

[Solo:]
At night when my head hits the pillow
I find I go flying out the window
To a place where it gets so deep
Where your past and your fate both meet
At night when my head hits the pillow
I find I go flying out the window
To a place where it gets so deep
Where your past and your fate both meet
At night when my head hits the pillow
I find I go flying out the window
To a place where it gets so deep
Where your past and your fate both meet
At night when my head hits the pillow
I find I go flying out the window
To a place where it gets so deep
Where your past and...
