I was listening to a song named "When we were young" by Adele I suddenly came across this line: "You're like a dream come true". I think it should be "comes" but I'm not sure. I know some singers just want their lyrics to fit with the rhythm of the song, and they're intentionally using incorrect grammar. But in this case, what do you think it should be? "come" or "comes"?
Thanks in advance!

"Come", and it doesn't matter what I think. To say that something is a "dream come true" is common. It is a dream (that has be)come true.
