about

Pipe Dream is a song of realization that the grass isn't really greener on the other side sometimes and the things in life you strive for aren't always what's best for you. Life can feel like one great big trial and error situation leaving you empty handed and confused.

Music and Lyrics by Heidi Burson and Jenn Bostic

lyrics

When the spotlight leaves me feeling so exposed. Try to cover up the evidence of last night's rock and roll. When the smoke clears and the dust finally settles down I see the truth in front of me that I've been dancing around.

Standing on the other side looking back from where I came and the green of the grass I'm on is the same shade. When love doesn't feel like I thought it would is like the day when my whiskey no longer tasted good.

Could've fooled me if you said that I'd be here with these battle scars and a pipe dream that so humbly disappeared. Maybe what I wanted isn't what I need. Part of learning how to fight is knowing that you're gonna bleed.

Standing on the other side looking back from where I came and the green of the grass I'm on is the same shade. When love doesn't feel like I thought it would is like the day when my whiskey no longer tasted good.

I'm done dragging my feet. Sure tastes bitter but sweet. Every sip is burning me all the way down. I'm done dragging my feet. Sure tastes bitter but sweet. Every sip is burning me all the way down.

Standing on the other side looking back from where I came and the green of the grass I'm on is the same shade. When love doesn't feel like I thought it would is like the day when my whiskey no longer tasted good.

I'm done dragging my feet. Sure tastes bitter but sweet. Every sip is burning me all the way down. I'm done dragging my feet. Sure tastes bitter but sweet. Every sip is burning me all the way down.
