Childhood Dreams

Nelly Furtado

I can't believe you need me

I never thought I would be needed for anything

I can't believe my shoulders would carry such important weight

As your head and your tears

I can't believe you chose me, in all my fragility, me

It hurts so much when i love you, it makes me cry

Every time



You, you are, oh you are

The little boy made for me in the stars

In the stars, that's why I can't let you go

The little boy made for me in the stars

That's why I love you more the further I go

And before this existence you were always there

Waiting for me

You are, you are the realest thing I know

Hands down

The realest thing I know



I am not used to being carried

Or being able to carry a pretty song

I have been bruised by my many trails

Sometimes my skin's so thick it's frail

I just need to be ignored 'til I wake up to the beauty that is yours

And it all comes to life so, so suddenly

This is a place so deep, the water's so deep I hesitate, cause

All the energy it takes to feel this power

I tend to run, I tend to hide, 'til I find you and I know I got you

I know, I know, I know



You're the little boy made for me in the stars

In the stars, that's why I can't let you go

The little boy made for me in the stars

That's why I love you more the further I go

And before this existence you were always here

Inside of me

You are, you are the realest thing I know

Hands down...the realest thing I know



I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams

I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams



When you carry me, when you carry me, when you carry me

It's so happy



I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams

I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams
