Sweet Picket Dreams Lyrics - Solange Knowles

I'm sitting here looking at this old canvas 

And the picture looks so different from you 

Yes it does 

Maybe it's time to go back to the drawing board 

Cuz it's likely that the man I drew is fictional 

(chorus) 

It's possible to dream such a thing that's so far away 

And the flame that you bring is warm enough 

It's possible we all want a dream that's so far away 

And my white picket dream is home enough. 

Oh yeah... 

I'm lying in the dark but it's pitch bright 

Cuz this yellow in my soul and it rays 

It brings me whole. 

I figured I'd be married young with two offspring 

But this timing and it don't wait for you to carry on 

So I wait for the day (for the day) 

when this frame, shows a face, gives a name 

And you say, that you will, it's your will 

We can build, we can still see it 

(Chorus) 

And you know I want that, baby 

What you do keep on bringing me joy 

And you know we'll have that, baby 

I'll give you that picture, honey, and so much more 

And you know I want that, baby 

And you know we'll have that, baby 

That white picket dream we'll paint it 

That house on the hill with our name on that door 

And you know I want that, baby 

And you know we'll have that, baby 

That white picket dream of mine 

Will sure be ours in no time 

(chorus)
