It was all just a dream, oh no
Yet I wish it was real
All my pets, they were there, and they smiled
Take a shit, it was fine
Everybody so inviting
They've got it in for me I know
It's not that I don't really love you
It's just that I don't really know
The hateful things you think you want to say, yeah
Time will turn them into jokes, yeah
Yes, it was all just a dream, oh no
Was it real? I don't know, I hope so
Here we go, can I play? Can I watch?
I would like one more night in your life
I saw worlds, they don't stop, they're like us
They go fast, like a sun that's been shot
Everybody at the party
Shouldn't worry if I'm there
Everybody at the party
Shouldn't worry what they wear
'Cause today, they'll talk about us
And tomorrow, they won't care
This whole life, is it a dream? I can't tell
I got up, then I waved, then I fell
I recall, you were all there with me
Overjoyed and at peace
First time around
Second took so long
Third time's a charm
Circle of fourths
Five days to rehearse
Six to make it work
Seven notes in a scale
Eight in some countries
Nine in fancy keys
Ten years we've been friends
Eleven seconds to hell
Of course twelve major chords
Yet I wish it was real
All my pets, they were there, and they smiled
Take a shit, it was fine
Everybody so inviting
They've got it in for me I know
It's not that I don't really love you
It's just that I don't really know
The hateful things you think you want to say, yeah
Time will turn them into jokes, yeah
Yes, it was all just a dream, oh no
Was it real? I don't know, I hope so
Here we go, can I play? Can I watch?
I would like one more night in your life
I saw worlds, they don't stop, they're like us
They go fast, like a sun that's been shot
Everybody at the party
Shouldn't worry if I'm there
Everybody at the party
Shouldn't worry what they wear
'Cause today, they'll talk about us
And tomorrow, they won't care
This whole life, is it a dream? I can't tell
I got up, then I waved, then I fell
I recall, you were all there with me
Overjoyed and at peace
First time around
Second took so long
Third time's a charm
Circle of fourths
Five days to rehearse
Six to make it work
Seven notes in a scale
Eight in some countries
Nine in fancy keys
Ten years we've been friends
Eleven seconds to hell

I absolutely love this song, one of my favorites on the new album. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Julian was drunk when they recorded this, and his vocals fit the song perfectly.
