[Verse 1]
I'm sitting here looking at this old canvas
And the picture looks so different from you
Yes it does
Maybe it's time to go back to the drawing board
Cause it's likely that the man I drew is fictional
[Chorus]
It's possible I dream such a thing that's so far away
And the flame that you bring is warming up
It's possible we all want a dream that's so far away
And my white picket dreams are home enough
[Verse 2]
I'm lying in the dark but it's pitch bright
Cause this yellow in my soul and it raise, it brings me hope
I figured I'd be married young with two offspring
But this timing and me don't wait for you to carry on
So I wait for the, day for the day
When this frame shows a face, gives a name and you say
That you will, it's your will, we can build, we can still see it
[Chorus]
It's possible I dream such a thing that's so far away
And the flame that you bring is warming up
It's possible we all want a dream that's so far away
And my white picket dreams are home enough
I'm sitting here looking at this old canvas
And the picture looks so different from you
Yes it does
Maybe it's time to go back to the drawing board
Cause it's likely that the man I drew is fictional
[Chorus]
It's possible I dream such a thing that's so far away
And the flame that you bring is warming up
It's possible we all want a dream that's so far away
And my white picket dreams are home enough
[Verse 2]
I'm lying in the dark but it's pitch bright
Cause this yellow in my soul and it raise, it brings me hope
I figured I'd be married young with two offspring
But this timing and me don't wait for you to carry on
So I wait for the, day for the day
When this frame shows a face, gives a name and you say
That you will, it's your will, we can build, we can still see it
[Chorus]
It's possible I dream such a thing that's so far away
And the flame that you bring is warming up
It's possible we all want a dream that's so far away
And my white picket dreams are home enough
