    Written by Maia Sharp & Garrison Starr

    I'm tired of those old dreams
    I'm not even dreaming anymore
    That was the old me
    She didn't know what she was living for
    I built that city when the ground was still shifting
    It's time to say good bye to something I ain't missing
    Old dreams

    You paint yourself a picture
    Before you could know what the colors are
    How big is the sky, what's the shape of the stars

    I'm waking up to something
    Finally settling into my skin
    And I'm never going back again

    I'm tired of those old dreams
    I'm not even dreaming anymore
    That was the old me
    She didn't know what she was living for
    I built that city when the ground was still shifting
    It's time to say good bye to something I ain't missing
    Old dreams
    Old dreams

    When I close my eyes
    I don't see what I used to see
    I'm just not the same as I used to be

    When the ghosts tell stories
    They get all nostalgic for the way it was
    I'm sick of it getting to me like it does

    I'm tired of those old dreams
    I'm not even dreaming anymore
    That was the old me
    And she didn't know what she was living for
    I built that city when the ground was still shifting
    It's time to say good bye to something I ain't missing
    Old dreams
