Fantasy Lyrics

[Intro: Aaron Lafette]
I close my eyes, woke up and I saw my dream
I close my eyes, woke up and I saw my dream


[Verse 1: Machine Gun Kelly]
Yeah, and they told me, all that glitters ain't gold
But I really wanna shine right now
And they told me the the sky's the limit
So I wonder if I can fly right now

Yeah, so I spread my wings, jumped up and lived my dreams
I used to always say that I'd be fly
Now I got my head high in the sky where the airplanes be
And now I'm reachin' up for the stars, almost there
Told me I was dreamin' too big, I almost care
'Till I hopped in my spaceship and left the Matrix
To a place where there's no more air
And now I go to sleep, wherever they wanna be
Openin' my eyes seein' what they wanna see
And I never aged one year, still a grown ass kid
You could never tell me what I'm gonna be
'Cause I might wake up and wanna be king
And see the president and wanna be the same thing
Or maybe be a pilot and buy my own island
With a million dollars that I earned last spring
And of course, you know I'd have the worlds prettiest girl
Waitin' for me when I go away and when I get back
I'm a kiss her like the very first time
And take her to the malls and say, I want it all
[Chorus: Aaron Lafette]
I close my eyes, woke up and I saw my dream
Living life like a movie scene
Let me tell you what it feels like
I close my eyes, woke up and I saw my dream
And I feel so free
Can't believe this real life

[Verse 2: Machine Gun Kelly]
Uh, lights out and the whole city comes to life
See a star shoot past make a wish hope it comes tonight
But until then, pack my bags put my headphones on
So everything can turn into a dream
And reality seems like I ain't been outta my bed in so long
I just wanna fly so high and escape the real
Into a world that is all made up
So turn my alarm clock off and lock the door
I wanna sleep until I can't wake up
Now with that being said, bring me all the girls in the world
In a pool in my penthouse suite and open up the shades
Get a view of the world out a window up 85,000 feet
And then we jump lava lamps floatin' around us
I guess gravity never found us
They always said whatever you do remain grounded
But I've always been in the clouds my worlds groundless
So we go up, up, up we gone
And I dont wanna come back down
So I'mma do whatever whenever however that I gotta do it
To feel like I do right now
'Cuz every days good
Every nights great
Yesterdays lobster
Tonight its steak
Spendin' my whole life
Lookin' for my place
Im a star
Shoulda known that it was up in space
We all came out of the womb cryin'
I ended up shinin'
Tell me what you think 'bout that
My life did a whole 360
Front to back
And now I get whatever I want in one snap
And I want it all
[Bridge: Aaron Lafette and Machine Gun Kelly]
I close my eyes
Woke up and I saw my dream
Living life like a movie scene
Let me tell you what it feels like
I close my eyes
Woke up and I saw my dream
And I feel so free
Can't believe this real life
And they told me
All that glitters ain't gold
But I really wanna shine right now
Can't believe this real life
And they told me the sky's the limit
So I wonder if I can fly right now
Can't believe this real life
Yeah all the glitters ain't gold
But I really wanna shine right now
Can't believe this real life
And they told me the sky's the limit
So I wonder if I can fly right now

[Chorus: Aaron Lafette]
I close my eyes, woke up and I saw my dream
Living life like a movie scene
Let me tell you what it feels like
I close my eyes, woke up and I saw my dream
And I feel so free
Can't believe this real life
I close my eyes, woke up and I saw my dream
Living life like a movie scene
Let me tell you what it feels like
I close my eyes, woke up and I saw my dream
And I feel so free
Can't believe this real life
