Dream Dust
Dream Dust: Escaping Reality in Ethereal Love
Lyrics
I wore your favorite perfume that you bought me in the fall
The speaker wore a perfume gifted by the listener during autumn.
I wondered if you'd notice
Wondering if the listener would notice the perfume.
Do you think of me at all
Questioning if the listener thinks about the speaker.
Cuz I saw you in my dreams
The speaker saw the listener in a dream.
We were floating away
In the dream, both were floating away.
So I stopped to pick you flowers
The speaker gathered flowers for the listener, specifically a "forget-me-not" bouquet.
Forget me not bouquet
Describing being called "dream baby" because the speaker exists only in the listener's dreams.
She calls me dream baby cuz I'm only hers in her dreams
Reference to being exclusively the listener's dream partner.
Lucky for her I love escaping reality
Expressing enjoyment in escaping reality for the listener's dream world.
So touch me soft and kiss me hard
Desire for gentle touch and passionate kisses.
I'll be your fairy fantasy
Offering to be a fantastical being for the listener's dreams.
Kiss you with dream dust so you'll come and lie with me
Using "dream dust" in kisses to entice the listener to join in dreams.
You smell like open windows
Comparing the listener's scent to fresh, open windows in spring.
In the middle of Spring
Imagery of filling open windows with the fragrance of pale pink roses.
The kind you fill with pale pink roses
Linking the imagery of roses to listening to birds singing.
While you listen to the birds sing
Unsure of when or how the speaker became part of the listener's life.
I don't know how and I don't know when
Admiration for the ethereal appearance of the listener while asleep.
I became yours to keep
Reiteration of being solely present in the listener's dreams.
But it's a miracle how ethereal you look when you're asleep
Emphasizing the miraculous beauty of the listener in slumber.
She calls me dream baby cuz I'm only hers in her dreams
Repeating the reference to being exclusively the listener's dream partner.
Lucky for her I love escaping reality
Expressing pleasure in escaping reality for the listener's dream world.
So touch me soft and kiss me hard
Desire for gentle touch and passionate kisses reiterated.
I'll be your fairy fantasy
Offering to be a fantastical being for the listener's dreams reiterated.
Kiss you with dream dust so you'll come and lie with me
Using "dream dust" in kisses to entice the listener to join in dreams reiterated.
And I love when we kiss
Expressing love for intimate moments, associating them with mental imagery.
Empty meadows flood my brain when you touch my hips
The feeling of euphoria or overwhelming joy when physically connected.
I love being the girl in your dreams
Enjoyment in being the focal point of the listener's dreams.
Cuz in the clouds I'll be your everything
Willingness to be everything for the listener in their dream world.
And I think of you like the gum stuck on my favorite tennis shoes
Comparing thoughts about the listener to something cherished like gum stuck to favorite shoes.
She calls me dream baby cuz I'm only hers in her dreams
Repeating the reference to being exclusively the listener's dream partner.
Lucky for her I love escaping reality
Expressing enjoyment in escaping reality for the listener's dream world reiterated.
So touch me soft and kiss me hard
Desire for gentle touch and passionate kisses reiterated.
I'll be your fairy fantasy
Offering to be a fantastical being for the listener's dreams reiterated.
Kiss you with dream dust so you'll come and lie with me
Using "dream dust" in kisses to entice the listener to join in dreams reiterated.
