In My Dreams Lyrics
I'm feelin' happy inside, I got no reason to hide
I'm a dream girl
I'm never stressing my bills, nobody ever gets killed
It's the dream wo-wo-wo-world
[Pre-Chorus: Kali Uchis]
My mama's never on coke, this isn't my way to cope
Washin' my mind out with soap (Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh)
[Chorus: Kali Uchis]
Everything is just wonderful here in my dreams, here in my dreams
Every day is a holiday when you're living inside your dreams
Why would anyone stay awake after being so sound asleep?
Everything is just wonderful in my dreams
[Verse 2: Kali Uchis]
He's never messing around, he's always holding it down
He's my dream boy
We bought a house in the clouds, so we can only look down
It's the dream wo-wo-wo-world
[Pre-Chorus: Kali Uchis]
Don't ever worry or care, except to pick what to wear
Why isn't everyone here? (Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh)
Everything is just wonderful here in my dreams, here in my dreams
Every day is a holiday, when you're living inside your dreams
Why would anyone stay awake after being so sound asleep?
Everything is just wonderful in my dreams
[Bridge: Kali Uchis, Damon Albarn]
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh (Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh (Ooh-oh-oh, ooh-oh-oh)
The moments we are happiest, happiest, happiest (La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la-la)
Are the moments that we don't exist, don't exist, don't exist (La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
[Chorus: Kali Uchis]
Everything is just wonderful here in my dreams, here in my dreams
Every day is a holiday, when you're living inside your dreams
Why would anyone stay awake after being so sound asleep?
Everything is just wonderful in my dreams
[Outro: Kali Uchis, Damon Albarn]
Everything is just wonderful here in my dreams, here in my dreams (La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la-la)
Every day is a holiday, when you're living inside your dreams (La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la-la)
Why would anyone stay awake after being so sound asleep? (La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la-la)
Everything is just wonderful in my dreams (La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la-la)

We agreed to trade [tracks]. He (Damon Albarn) came to New York when we did his, and I went to their studio in London to do mine. We made a bunch of music and finished two different songs that day, and this was our favorite. Usually I like to make a bunch of stuff and then step back, listen to them, and pick the one that is the bombest.
