Lyrics

Wake up in the middle of a wonderful dream

Waking up from a pleasant dream.

Everybody's happy and they look pristine

Observing everyone around being happy and appearing flawless.

Thinking of the moment that you sat by me

Reflecting on a moment when the narrator and someone special shared a seat.

Ooo baby, aren't i lucky

Expressing gratitude for the luck of having that person in their life.

Choke up in the middle of a horrible lie

Choking up due to a disturbing lie.

Wonder what you're doing on the day that you die

Pondering the activities on the day of one's death.

Wonder what your friends say hearing the news

Contemplating how friends would react upon hearing the news of the person's demise.

The grim reaper has come and taken you

Referencing the arrival of the grim reaper to take someone away.

Window shopping in the midst of my youth

Recalling youth and carefree moments like window shopping.

Licking on the ice cream i bought with you

Remembering shared moments like enjoying ice cream together.

Feeling all the living going on in this town

Feeling the vibrancy of life in the town.

Breathing in what you won't let out

Conveying a sense of holding back emotions or thoughts.

A faded letter you completely forgot

Discovering a forgotten, faded letter from a dear friend.

Written by a lovely friend you got

Highlighting the friendship through a letter from a loved one.

Telling you nothing's gonna be the same

Receiving news that things will never be the same.

It's true kid things change

Acknowledging the inevitability of change in life.

At the bottom of the public pool

Imagining a scene at the bottom of a public pool.

I pantomime tea with you

Symbolizing a shared, intimate moment with the act of pantomiming tea.

Singing our hearts out all through the night

Reveling in singing together throughout the night.

I'm sorry but goodbye

Apologizing and saying goodbye.

Make a living at a school up north

Describing making a living while attending a school in the northern part.

Never stop asking what is it for

Emphasizing a perpetual quest for understanding the purpose of life.

The only answer is the one inside

Stating that the only answer lies within oneself.

Ooo baby, i hope i don't die

Expressing a hope for life to continue before potential death.

Before i have the chance to play with some words

Desiring the opportunity to play with words before potential demise.

Before i have the chance to go be heard

Expressing the desire to be heard before potential death.

I've got that look in your eye

Noting a particular look in someone's eye, possibly significant or meaningful.
