Background
The song was announced with the tracklist of O'Neill's first album released under the stage name "Nightmare Boy" on August 1, 2014 though there was no release date at the time. Plans for the album were later scrapped in favor of a four track EP which the track did not make the cut for.
Lyrics
[Nightmare Boy]:
I seen you walk along the riverside
I seen you walk along at ease
And in the air I feel a silence
It whispers perfect on the breeze
And there's a voice that keeps me company
It takes me closer to the stream
And in the break of any suffering
It makes me feel like there's no pain
Finally, finally, finally I'm gettin' closer to the dream
To my dream, I believe
[Lana Del Rey]:
I'm up a creek and you're my paddle
Where there is you, there is my soul
Another dream where I'm the witness
I am the witness to your goal
[Nightmare Boy & Lana Del Rey]:
Finally, finally, finally I'm gettin' closer to the dream
To my dream, I believe
Finally, finally, finally I'm gettin' closer to the dream
To my dream, I believe
To my dream, I believe
To my dream, I believe
To my dream, I believe
