Lyrics
There's nothing that I want to do
Expressing a lack of specific desires or ambitions.
More than get alone and be with you
Desiring companionship and connection with the listener.
Trouble with dreams is they don't come true
Highlighting the challenge that dreams often remain unfulfilled.
And when they do they can't catch up to you
Suggesting that even when dreams come true, they may not bring satisfaction or catch up to expectations.
You don't need a thing from me
Acknowledging the listener's independence and self-sufficiency.
But I need something big from you
Expressing a personal need for something significant from the listener.
'Cause you know I've got an awful lot of big dreams
Emphasizing the speaker's possession of ambitious dreams.
I'm walking down a lonely road
Describing a solitary journey without prior warning or guidance.
Clear to me now but I was never told
Realizing the clarity of the path now, but admitting ignorance in the past.
Trouble with dreams is you never know
Pointing out the uncertainty inherent in pursuing dreams.
When to hold on and when to let go
Highlighting the difficulty in deciding whether to persist or let go of dreams.
If you let me down it's alright
Accepting potential disappointment but finding solace in retaining something for oneself.
At least that leaves something for me
Emphasizing the importance of personal resilience in the face of letdowns.
'Cause you know I've got an awful lot of big dreams
Reiterating the possession of substantial aspirations.
This is the life that I must lead now
Acknowledging the current reality and the challenges inherent in the speaker's life.
Crossing fingers and wiping brow
Describing a state of hopefulness and anxiety while facing life's uncertainties.
Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend
Stating the difficulty in feigning or ignoring the existence of dreams.
Something with no beginning has no end
Reflecting on the eternal nature of something that lacks a clear origin.
You don't need a thing from me
Reiterating the listener's independence without requiring anything from the speaker.
But I need something big from you
Expressing a continued personal need for something significant from the listener.
'Cause you know I've got an awful lot of big dreams
Reiterating the possession of ambitious dreams and desires.
