's single-a-month project, VOL.24. This dreamy moombahton-inspired track talks about letting go of past love.
lyrics
Catch, release, yeah, it tasted sweet for a moment
No relief when the night’s gone, and the day’s come
Thought that you and I would last forever
But our time is up, the love is gone
No relief when I said goodbye
I miss calling you “babe”, I miss calling you mine
Now I can’t even call you up, nothing but dead air on the line
Felt it in my shadows, bursting at the seams
All that’s left for me to do is
stop the dream
Thoughts of you call me closer, though it’s over
What to do? You keep echoing around
I’ve been tryin’ to keep it real for a second
Hard-hitting facts tellin’ me I should quit it
‘Cause this heart of mine keeps on pushin’ and pullin’ while I’m tethered to you (shit!)
I just wanna see the light of day
Open my eyes, make it all go away
‘Cause I feel it on your lips, but it’s stranger than it seems
So I gotta turn it off and
stop the dream
(It ain’t happening, happening no more)
Nine years, and it’s finally over
Another day, we’d be lost in the blur
Trying to save what’s left of us now
Wish we had a better ending
But still, thanks for the memories
Now it’s time for us to take a bow
stop the dream
Ending Scene
Set me free
All that's left to say is goodbye
I miss calling you “babe”, I miss calling you mine
Now I can’t even call you up, nothing but dead air on the line
Felt it in my shadows, bursting at the seams
All that’s left for me to do is
stop the dream
