Lyrics You Look Nothing Like My Dreams - Front Porch Step

You Look Nothing Like My Dreams

Dripping sweat
Short of breath
Hold your hand as I confess
That you’re not the one that I was hoping for
You’re far too kind
Way too sweet
And too considerate of me
And when I thought that I knew love
You taught me more…
But how could imagine something I could never fathom?
But I knew the life I wanted
So much faith in plans I’ve made
But since you’ve come to interrupt them
I’ve forgotten everything
And I am far too uncreative
That my mind could not conceive
The kind of beauty that’s before me
You look nothing like my dreams
Now that you’re here
What’s left to do?
Except to fall in love with you…
How can someone I never wanted
Be someone I’m so scared to lose?
But how could I imagine something I could never fathom?
But I knew the life I wanted
So much faith in plans I’ve made
But since you’ve come to interrupt them
I’ve forgotten everything
And I am far too uncreative
That my mind could not conceive
The kind of beauty that’s before me
You look nothing like my dreams
Nothing like my dreams…
Nothing like my dreams…
And I have always been a man of many words
But I cannot seem to string together thoughts to sing of what your worth
It’d take a million brilliant minds to write one line that you deserve
I thought I knew the life I wanted
So much faith in plans I’ve made
But since you’ve come to interrupt them
I’ve forgotten everything
And I am far too uncreative
That my mind could not conceive
The kind of beauty that’s before me
You look nothing like my dreams
Nothing like my dreams…
Nothing like my dreams…
The kind of beauty that’s before me
You look nothing like my dreams
