I heard your song and followed it

Right down the street

This year's been hard to swallow

So you're just what I need

Now that I finally have you

I feel time slipping away

My mind's already working past you

Before I've had a taste.

Dreamsicle

So sweet and simple

Dripping down my fingers in the sun

Dreamsicle

Perfectly fickle

Your magic melts away before I'm done.

I cry that things are over

While the party's still going

I press petals between pages

When the flowers were still growing

I overthink the moment

Right down to the minute

Will I ever enjoy anything

While I'm standing in it?

Dreamsicle

So sweet and simple

Dripping down my fingers in the sun

Dreamsicle

Perfectly fickle

Your magic melts away before I'm done.

"Nothing gold can stay"

But the gold's not what I came for

Through fevers, pipes, and days

All I want is what I've paid for.

Dreamsicle

So sweet and simple

Dripping down my fingers in the sun

Dreamsicle

Perfectly fickle

Your magic melts away before I'm done.

Can't save it for later

So just savor what you can.
