"dreamsicle" lyrics

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
