I Wish I Was Still in Your Dreams
Echoes of Longing: Reunion in the City
Lyrics
I saw you through a cafe window down on second avenue
I observed you from a cafe window on Second Avenue.
The passage of time sure has been good to you
The passage of time has been kind to your appearance.
I was tempted for just a moment to run out in the street
I felt the urge for a moment to go out into the street.
But what do you say when two old lovers meet
Expressing the difficulty of what to say when two past lovers unexpectedly meet.
You say, hello
Greeting and expressing a wish to still be part of the person's dreams despite being apart.
(Hello)
-How are you
-You're doing well it seems
-I wish I was better at bein? alone
-I wish I was still in your dreams
-I spent a lot of lonely hours staring at this phone of mine
Reflecting on spending many lonely hours staring at the phone.
Knowing your just a heart beat down the line
Acknowledging the person is just a heartbeat away.
Once I even dialed your number, but I couldn't let it ring
Recalling a moment of almost calling but holding back.
What do you say to a sweet memory
Pondering what to say to a cherished memory.
You say, hello
Repeating the greeting and expressing a desire to still be in the person's dreams.
(Hello)
-How are you
-You're doing well it seems
-I wish I was better at bein? alone
-I wish I was still in your dreams
-In my favorite fantasy
In a daydream, the singer imagines the person missing them and the memories flooding back.
You're the one who's missing me
-It all comes back so easily
-When I hear you say
-You say, hello
Reiterating the greeting and the longing to be part of the person's dreams.
(Hello)
-How are you
-You're doing well it seems
-I wish I was better at bein? alone
-I wish I was still in your dreams
-I wish I was better at bein? alone
Expressing a general wish to be better at being alone and still desiring to be in the person's dreams.
I wish I was still in your dreams
