Liner Notes

#idiom #comedy #filk #acoustic

This is based on a concept that I've long considered scary, second only to: "Fairytales can come true, it can happen to you". 😬

(My only defence for the performance is that the two previous ones were worse. Shrug.)

Lyrics

I heard you wish me well when it was over
But why’d you have to say…
“May all your dreams come true?”

Now, I’m back in high school
And I’m standing in a hallway,
I don’t know which of the lockers might be mine.
Even if I find it,
I’ll need the combination
And I’m pretty sure that’s long been lost to time.

I heard you wish me well when it was over
But why’d you have to say,
“May all your dreams come true?”
I stood in shock a moment, only thinking,
“This can’t be the true love that I knew.”

I trudge to the exam room,
But I didn’t take this subject
Whether Spanish, Modern Art, or Chemistry
Letters blur and wiggle
When I concentrate, they vanish
Leaving blank space where the questions ought to be

I heard you wish me well when it was over
But why’d you have to say,
“May all your dreams come true?”
I stood in shock a moment, only thinking,
“This can’t be the true love that I knew.”

Perhaps you meant just good dreams, I don’t know.
If that’s the case, then you should have said so.

I’m headed to the office
Where they send disruptors
And my complaints have marked me one of those
This whole thing would be better
Though still disconcerting
If, like others, I was wearing clothes

I heard you wish me well when it was over
But why’d you have to say,
“May all your dreams come true?”
I stood in shock a moment, only thinking,
“This can’t be the true love that I knew.”

When wits returned, they brought me nothing clever
But only, “Well, my darlin’, same to you.”
