Sky Ferreira - Sad Dream Lyrics






Poured myself a warm glass, and laid awake
I prayed the lord my soul to take
I thought about you all day, how we have the same face
I fell asleep so confused, parts of me remind me of you
How could I ever wish away?

[Chorus:]
Only ever in dreams I wrap my arms around you.
And standing in the water with me,
I can tell you what I wanna tell you.
And I hope it's not just a bad dream,
Hope it's not just a sad dream

I wake up and I hear my phone ring,
I hear your call and I let my phone ring
When I got into my car and drove away,
I listened to the stereo play

I live by my own laws,
I stick to my guns and hold my head up to midnight sun
I hope the guilt will dim and fade,
The fire baptism engulfed in my shame

[Chorus: x2]
Only ever in dreams I wrap my arms around you.
And standing in the water with me,
I can tell you what I wanna tell you.
And I hope it's not just a bad dream,
Hope it's not just a sad dream

  59. Z.... N....

    This was my sad song 5 years ago... It was playing on repeat for days after I came back home from one of the most emotional adventures of my life... meeting my father and my 3 half sisters for the first time after 15 years of living life with a billion of question marks.. We've spent 2 months learning everything about each others. Those were some happy days! Now, 5 years later, this is my melancholic song. I wish they weren't living on the other side of the world. I miss them loads

  60. J.... L....

    2018 anyone else?

  61. N.... O....

    Great chords.

    Good song.

  62. R.... T....

  70. M.... F....

    🖤😍

  71. S.... S....

    Love song

  72. K.... 3....

    There is a band called Shannon and the Clams that ripped this song off. Their "version" is called Ozma. I fucking hate song thieves and it is an obvious rip off. I think they even had the nerve to put the word dream in their chorus. It's like a blatant slap in the face. This girls track came first.

  73. B.... P....

    watching in 2018💙

  74. B.... A....

    God it hurts how much I relate to this song and video... 😞

  75. h.... a....

    i unboxed Sky’s album on my channel so if u wanna watch...

  76. S.... 8....

    I can't help but cry and think of my father while listening to this song...

  77. S.... B....

    Miss her she hasn’t released a song in 3 years now

  78. J.... S....

    i really can't believe this song is 5 years old

  79. J.... G....

    I love this video

  80. L.... K....

    I like this song

  81. E.... S....

    What a beautiful song :')

  82. S.... ....

    tinha uma época que eu vinha aqui diariamente pra sofrer por causa do meu pai. agora só venho aqui por nostalgia mesmo.

  83. C.... C....

    the producer who thought it was a good idea to have drums and that strange bass, with her voice double tracked over itself for no reason, and the guy singing in the background.... and the tambourine ... should never make music again. The producers completely massacred this song. All there should be is an acoustic guitar, her voice, and maybe a backing cello

  84. N.... M....

    This song soothes me

  85. s.... ....

    beautiful melody and lyrics. also it kind of reminds me of riverdale

  86. S.... H....

    Love this song. Who is the actor in the video? I know his face and it's bugging me! He looks a bit like D B Sweeney but I'm not sure. If it is him he has barely aged in 20 years!

  87. t.... 6....

    yo tambien soy ferreira .

  88. M.... 4....

    When I watched this song for the first time in July 2014 I literally unraveled. Sky looks so much like my wife Kara and the scenery looks just like Oklahoma where I lived at the time. The look Sky has in her eyes in the liquor store is the same look Kara had in her eyes. Then I looked Sky up on Wiki and saw we had the same birthday 9 years apart and the imagery of "the Sky" has always played a large part in my music. One song I wrote for Kara before I discovered Sky said in the hook:"So find a way to make it through the pain and pressure, you think you're falling from the Sky baby girl but I won't let ya, it doesn't matter what obstacles come we're going escape the pain and madness while we walk in the sun." And many others.
    I put all of my lyrics I had written up until that point (the only thing I own with any potential value) and gave them to the four causes I care about most: Innocence Project, Rape Crisis Centers, Tupac Amaru Shamir Foundation for the ARTs, and Apples 🍎 for Africa.
    Within like 3 days I ended up in the hospital and then Oklahoma County Jail and was subjected to "enhanced interrogation" Iraq style by Detective Phil Williams. Trapped in a cell naked for 10 days, I thought I was on a reality show and to win I had to last the longest on the 13th floor of OK County Jail. I was lost in psychosis so if you've never been you wouldn't understand but Sky your song got me through the craziest 10 days of my life. I finally gave up when I thought that you were in the cell next to me. The thought that you were suffering due to me was enough to give up.
    Four months before Sky posted Sad Dream, I posted a song on YouTube called Falling. I wrote it as an anthem to hopefully help stop people from taking their own lives. I posted it under Eminem and it got like 3 million which I thought and still think was totally worth it. Marshall was mad but what else is new.
    Then in October this past year Sky was in LA singing Falling from the show Twin Peaks. I didn't know it until after I got out of Jail in Denver for throwing my Pet Rock K-Paz through Trump's campaign window but when it I was like this is way too cool, too much synchronicity for me. 💙 I actually left OKC for Denver the day or the day before she performed. It's all so strange to me. So I wrote a whole album to Sky called SKYCAll. It's probably not her style of music and I'm definitely not ready for prime time but I hope she knows it was from the heart. There's not too many songs that come along in a person's life that totally change your life's course and Sad Dream was one of them for me. And I'm super grateful.
    And then this year at the VMAs Logic was on stage singing an anthem to help save lives with a gal named Alessia Cara. CaraKara. And it was the most amazing feeling ever. They are finally letting a message of hope through to the masses. And Logic didn't even have to Hijack Eminem to do it. Let's turn this house into a Happy Home. As long as one of us got it, some of us got it.
    The world's not ready to hear what I have to say and maybe it will never be but without you Sky and this song I would never have been able say it. 💜💙 to the Carina Nebula and back Soul Sister.
