Lyrics
With eyes open I was havin' a dream
With eyes open, the speaker was experiencing a vivid dream.
And as real as it seemed
The dream felt real, though there was a sense of something being wrong or off.
It wasn't right
The dream was not right, possibly indicating a discrepancy between appearance and reality.
I saw you or was it somebody else
The speaker saw someone, unsure if it was the intended person or someone else.
I remember your face
A recollection of the person's face and distinctive Converse shoes.
And your Converse shoes
The details of the person's appearance are vividly remembered.
I hope you know what it means to me
The speaker hopes the person understands the significance of their presence in the dream.
When I'm on my own and I wish I'd be
Expressing the emotional impact when alone and longing for the company of the person.
Right here, right here, right here, mmm
Repetition of the desire for the person to be present in the current moment.
When I get my stuff and I'm ready to go
Preparing to leave, but anticipating difficulties and challenges ahead.
That's when things get rough and I lose control
Things become challenging, and the speaker feels a loss of control.
I can't let go, let go, let go
Emphasizing the struggle to let go and move forward.
Whoa, when I get lost in the haze of it all
Getting lost in the confusion and chaos of life, symbolized by a spinning ball.
And I keep chasing a ball
Persistently chasing a goal or objective that seems elusive.
That's spinning 'round, and 'round, and 'round
Describing the cyclical nature of the challenges faced.
Whoa, when I get scared and I lie to your face
Facing fear and being deceptive, possibly in self-protection.
Being asleep or awake
Blurring the lines between reality and dreams, contributing to disappointment.
I let you down
An acknowledgment of letting someone down, possibly due to the confusion.
And I hope you know what it means to me
Reiteration of the hope that the person understands the emotional significance.
When I'm on my own and I wish I'd be
Expressing the desire for the person's presence when alone.
Right here, right here, right here. mmm
Repetition of the longing for the person to be right there in the moment.
And when I get my stuff and I'm ready to go
Preparation to leave again, with an expectation of challenges and loss of control.
That's when things get rough and I lose control
Anticipating difficulties and a struggle to maintain control.
I can't let go, let go, let go
Reiterating the difficulty of letting go and moving forward.
