Dreamin' On
Chasing Dreams Together: A Love Tale by Howard Jones
Lyrics
I don't know but I've been told
Expressing uncertainty about knowledge received.
There's a place where dreams are bought and sold
Suggesting there's a place where dreams can be acquired or sold.
I'd like to steal me a dream with you
Expressing a desire to share a dream with someone.
Together we can sail the oceans blue
Imagining a joint adventure or journey.
Do you feel like I do?
Asking if the listener shares similar feelings.
Don't get me wrong
Clarifying a point without offense.
But I need your love
Expressing a need for the listener's affection.
And I feel like dreaming on
Expressing a desire to continue dreaming despite reality.
But I wake to find you gone
Realizing the dream isn’t real upon awakening.
Hope you like the things I say
Expressing hope for the listener's approval.
I look forward to the day
Anticipating a future moment eagerly.
When I can take you into my life
Desiring to integrate the listener into one's life.
One day you just might say you'll be my wife
Imagining a commitment, potentially marriage.
And I don't want to push
Expressing a reluctance to pressure or rush the listener.
I don't want to rush you
Reiterating the lack of desire to hurry the relationship.
But I need your love
Reaffirming the need for the listener's love.
And I feel like dreaming on
Continuing to feel the desire to dream despite disappointment.
But I wake to find you gone
Experiencing the disappointment of waking up alone.
And I feel like dreaming ...
Repetition of the desire to continue dreaming despite reality.
Throw this caution to the wind
Encouraging a bold move, disregarding caution.
Be my lover, be my friend
Desiring a deeper relationship.
If it goes wrong we'll start anew
Accepting the possibility of failure but suggesting a fresh start.
What else are we going to do?
Questioning what other options exist.
And I feel like dreaming on
Continuing to desire to dream despite repeated disappointment.
But I wake to find you gone
-And I feel like dreaming on
-But I wake to find you gone
Repetition of disappointment upon waking from dreams.
And I feel like dreaming on
