Your Dream
Waking from Your Dream: Jesse Ray Smith's Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Someday, I’m gonna write you a letter baby
Someday, expressing the intention to communicate through a letter in the future.
Tell you why I went a running and never looked back, from your 57 Chevrolet
Explaining the reason for leaving, escaping from a romantic relationship associated with a 57 Chevrolet.
Hey Hey
An exclamation, possibly reflecting emotion or emphasis.
It was a cool night, and you were a cool gal
Setting the scene of a cool night with a cool woman.
But the look in your eyes, was too much for this guy, who was set on a running around
Describing the intense gaze in the woman's eyes as a reason for leaving, hinting at commitment issues.
That stoned look in your eyes, It tazed me
Highlighting the impact of the woman's stoned look on the speaker.
Left me paralyzed, like a deer in the lights, you shoulda run me over
Using imagery of a deer in the lights, conveying a feeling of being paralyzed or overwhelmed.
I’d of made you my wife, Dontchya do it to me darling ill do whatever you say
Expressing a willingness to commit and make the woman a wife despite initial hesitation.
Wait a god damned minute! Not now! I'm waking up from your dream...
An abrupt realization that the speaker is waking up from a dream, suggesting a shift in perspective.
Dreaming’ bout a California Sunset with you, Up from your dream
Describing a dream about a California Sunset with the woman, possibly indicating a longing for a romantic, picturesque setting.
Dreaming’ bout a California Sunset with you
Repetition of the dream theme, reinforcing the significance of the California Sunset in the speaker's thoughts.
Up from your dream
Emphasizing the awakening from the dream, indicating a return to reality.
Someday, I’ll go back to that spot where we laid
Expressing a future intention to revisit a significant location where the couple spent time together.
Down by the cliffs where the Pacific ocean rises in mist through the haze
Describing a romantic spot by the cliffs where the Pacific ocean rises in mist, evoking a nostalgic image.
Hey hey
Repeating the exclamation, possibly to convey excitement or emphasis.
Those were, good times, make no mistake babe you were a real good time
Reflecting on past good times and acknowledging the woman's positive impact.
And I was lost soul looking through a peephole thinking I had the key to life
Admitting to being a lost soul with misguided beliefs about having the key to life.
That stoned look in your eyes, It tazed me
Reiteration of the impact of the woman's stoned look, emphasizing its paralyzing effect.
Left me paralyzed, like a deer in the lights, you shoulda run me over
Reusing the imagery of a deer in the lights, suggesting missed opportunities and consequences.
I’d of made you my wife
Reaffirming the willingness to commit and make the woman a wife despite past uncertainties.
Dontchya do it to me darling ill do whatever you say, wait a god damned minute! Not now!
Repeating the plea not to lead the speaker on, acknowledging the awakening from the dream.
I'm waking up from your dream...
Reiterating the realization of waking up from the dream, possibly indicating a shift in perspective.
Dreaming’ bout a California Sunset with you, Up from your dream
Repetition of the dream theme, suggesting lingering thoughts about the California Sunset despite waking up.
Hey hey!
