[Verse 1] I woke up late On a yellow plate The milk in the sink Started moving like paint My shoes by the door Turned soft in my hands The floor went blue Then it split into bands [Pre-Chorus] And the clock said "Come play, come play" Every hard edge Melted away I took one step Then the room went wild Everything ordinary Turned child [Chorus] Liquid daydream, take me there Pour the rules out, strip the air Liquid daydream, let it glow Everything I know, let it flow Liquid daydream, hold me tight Turn the whole damn morning bright Liquid daydream, I'm alive In the spill where colors dive [Verse 2] At the bus stop bench There was tangerine rain A mailbox opened With a ribbon of flame The crosswalk pulsed Like a jellyfish wave My reflection winked In a window of jade A woman laughed As her scarf ran loose It dripped down her arms Like a strip of juice [Pre-Chorus] And the sky said "Come play, come play" Every mean old corner Slid away I held my breath Then I jumped on in What used to break me Started to grin [Chorus] Liquid daydream, take me there Pour the rules out, strip the air Liquid daydream, let it glow Everything I know, let it flow Liquid daydream, hold me tight Turn the whole damn morning bright Liquid daydream, I'm alive In the spill where colors dive [Bridge] [Beat drops to half-time] If the world gets hard I know what to do I’ll bend with the bend Let it rush right through No sharp little box No stiff little line Just a soft new shape That keeps changing in time [Breakdown] Oh-oh, let it run Oh-oh, let it shine Oh-oh, bend the day Till it feels like mine [Final Chorus] Liquid daydream, take me there Pour the rules out, strip the air Liquid daydream, let it glow Everything I know, let it flow Liquid daydream, hold me tight Turn the whole damn morning bright Liquid daydream, I’m alive In the spill where colors dive Liquid daydream, I’m home In the melt, I’m not alone Liquid daydream, stay with me Till the whole world turns to sea [Outro] I wake up new With a softer view The ordinary shines When I let it move
