Ryan Wright - A Dream I'll Forget

To Rate
I'm wasting your time
Turning out all the lights
'Cause I'm losing my mind over you
Watched all of your lies
Turn to stars in the sky
Like a Fourth of July afternoon

And I go running through the dark
Try to find a way out for me
Baby, this is how it starts
You're taking up the air that I breathe
And now it's tearing me apart
Give you everything
Just to watch you leave

Sometimes when I sleep
You're slow dancing with me
But it's only a dream I'll forget
'Cause you never stay
Always running away
And your memory goes straight to my head

This isn't something we can mend
Pick up the pieces of what you left me
I'm not trying to be your friend
So don't you tell me what you think we can be
I don't want to play pretend
I'm always what you want
But never what you need
I'm running down your back street, running down your back street
I can't find you in my sleep, can't find you in my sleep
I'm running down your back street, running down your back street
Did you know I was a crazy bitch when you fell for me?
I'm running down your back street, running down your back street
I can't find you in my sleep, can't find you in my sleep
I'm running down your back street, running down your back street
Did you know I was a crazy bitch when you fell for me?

Ryan Wright

Virginia-based singer/songwriter/producer Ryan Wright creates songs that don’t make sense on paper — an ethereal voice singing angsty lyrics over confectionary synth-driven hooks. Her lyrics — at times profane, often tongue-in-cheek, occasionally devastating — reveal a searing wit and a sensitive heart. Her arresting voice embodies the kind of teenage heartache that is deeply personal and yet universal and timeless. Her influences range from the classic (The Cars, Roy Orbison, The Smiths) to the current (The Killers, The 1975, Lana Del Ray) to the local musicians she grew up playing with alongside her dad. Her indie dream-pop has been compared to Lorde, Lennon Stella and The Japanese House. Her undeniably relatable lyrics and dreamy production take the mundane — everything from friend drama to being ghosted by boys to dealing with anxiety — and transform it into the sublime. Wright confides, “My songs are essentially my bottled-up emotions all being poured out in a way that makes them sound surreal. I wanted to make these very relatable experiences sound unfamiliar and strange — almost like listening to a soundtrack from an alternate reality.”
